Why not have the remote send two signals when you push the power button. The first signal is the signal sent when you push the home button, then the second would be the power off. You would still have the home button, but this would help for those who forget to push home before powering off.
There is a setting called "Bandwidth Saver" under Settings/Network/Bandwidth Saver that will cease streaming (thus saving internet bandwidth/data) after 4hrs.
There is a an additional setting called "auto power savings" on the newer Roku devices under Settings/System/Power/Auto Power Savings that will power down device and network activity after 20 min of inactivity.
Between those two settings, should be able to help out the forgetful.
Once users learn how to use the Roku device, pressing these buttons become second nature and most learn/remember to press the Home button before the Power button to turn off their device's streaming.
What possibly do you think happens when you power the device off? You think the movie still plays?

If it's a Roku player, yes the movie does continue. Using the power button on a Roku remote does NOT turn the Roku itself off. You cannot turn a Roku player off without disconnecting it from power. If a TV is turned off while a video is playing, the video continues to play until either it ends or the bandwidth monitor shuts it off after four hours without a remote button press.
