Re: Roku after watching a program for so long it is asking me am I still watching how do I stop this

@TheC-

The Roku "Bandwidth saver" function kicks in when the Roku has received no user input in four hours.  It asks if you are still watching, and if it receives no response, it exits the current stream and returns the Roku to its home page.
 
You can turn this feature on and off via Settings  > Network > Bandwidth saver
 
Note that some individual channels may have a similar feature.
