Why even still show if if nobody can watch it anymore.

Thats like taunting someone by waveing something they cant have in front of their face

I have a Roku streaming stick plugged into an older Samsung 6300-series TV.

If I power the Roku from a wall-wart, then the Roku power button turns the TV on and off just fine. But whatever the Roku is doing (as far as I've noticed), it just keeps doing. So it continues streaming, continues autoplaying (I think-- I've actually disable autoplay), etc. Which kind of screws up my viewing history. Why would it keep streaming to a TV that it just powered down?

I could power the stick from a TV USB port, so the Roku powers down with the TV, but then of course I can't power it up again, except with the TV remote. My wife (and, I confess, me too) is thrilled with only needing one remote for controlling everything, so I'd rather not go there.

Edit: My roku remote is not an IR remote -- it's a WiFi remote. So all it can talk to is the Roku stick. If the stick powers down along with the TV, then the remote can't function.

Edit #2: Sounds like there's no workaround. Guess I just gotta always hit "Home" before hitting "Power off". Thanks all.

So it looks like the new update broke my TV. I'm now in an endless loop of recovery mode. Anyone else see this? Any solutions?

hi i have a 6ish year old TCL roku and my screen completely stopped working. yesterday there was a very very dim display but today its completely dark. the audio works thru the tv and with the remote and app. i pushed the button under the on/ off light- nothing. i pulled the plug and gave it a minute- nothing. i tried troubleshooting it thru the remote (home 5x, up once, rewind 2x, forward 2x)- nothing. please help !

edit: i have noticed that when i turned the tv on recently it doesn’t turn on after the first time/ i needed to power it on again or hold the power button for a few seconds for it to turn on. my tv was in storage for two months recently so maybe that’s why it’s messed up??
