Sounds like the most likely culprit so far.

EDIT: Dang, you guys are quick. :D

If that means it keeps streaming, what is it streaming? Because when I turn it on in the morning, it’s back to the home page.
That’s it right there!

It just keeps watching what you were watching before. If you’re watching Netflix and it’s on auto play it will play your tv show to the end of the season, if you’re watching a movie it will go to the end and then stream previews of other shows all night. Sometimes it’ll give up after a few hours.

Just proof you should have bought Fire TVs. :p. They go to sleep when you turn the TVs off.

Give this a read...

edit - if you've got an extra laptop laying around that you don't care what happens to it if you leave it in-line (I did), no need to build something new.
