Hi shelwood46,
Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community!
We'd love to investigate more thoroughly this problem you had with the Backdrops feature, as it could not shut off your Roku TV.
Can you please provide the following information below?
- How are you powering off your Roku TV? Have you pressed the Roku power on/off button once?
Note: After Backdrops is enabled, press your remote's power button to start Backdrops. Suppose you want to turn off your TV, long press and hold down on your power button.
For more information, see this support article on using backdrops on Roku streaming devices.
Please let us know if the issue is fixed or reply back to the thread for further assistance, we will be glad to help you.
Kind regards,
John

Using the "Daily Stop Timer" feature/setting from within Backdrops will now turn the display off.
Unfortunately, not yet implemented but will be in the coming months.

Until then, maybe try using the "Sleep Timer" built-in to most RokuTVs.
