OK, so that thread's OP says it "usually" does that. Someone asks: Usually?? When doesn't it work? And someone replies when your TV doesn't support that command. One person makes multiple posts saying it works for him - on his Vizio TV. Most responses are about it not working for them. I don't see anyone claiming to be a Roku employee or mod in that thread, or any link to a Roku page (not even one that has since been removed.) Pretty mysterious but I'm still leaning towards a TV feature.

It appears that it IS a feature of the TV and a long press of the TV remote still turns the display off. But the updated Roku software must have changed the way the TV controls of the Roku remote work. When setting the remote up to control the TV it has always been the first choice when indicating a Vizio TV. All other possible choices for Vizio do not work correctly with my TV. But at least I can make the feature work with the TV remote, so I guess I will just have to live with it.

It's good that you have something that works. It's strange that a Roku update would affect the remote, but maybe the update included some kind of remote update? Have you tried setting up the remote for TV control using both CEC and IR? I assume those options exist for all Roku models, but I'm not sure.

On this TV only the IR option works. I did try CEC, but setup said it could not use the option.
