Hi lst1194,
Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community.
Roku streaming players are low-power devices that are designed to remain on and always connected to the internet. There is no “power button” to press on or off. This easy-to-use design prevents confusion by enabling instant access to your player any time you turn on your TV or switch from another source (e.g., cable box, Blu-ray™ player, gaming console).
If your Roku streaming player is placed inside a cabinet or other enclosed space, especially with other electronic equipment, it may overheat.
For reference, our FAQ provides additional information and complete steps on how to set up your voice remote to control your TV.
Hope this helps answer your concern. Keep us posted if you need additional support.
Regards,
Nimfa
When we are watching some other source, such as cable or antenna TV, is the Roku still using my internet bandwidth? If so, how do I turn the Roku off without having to turn the TV off too? Also how can I un-program the Roku remote so that it does not control my TV's power and volume?
