ROKU Streaming sticks will turn off if they are powered by the TV's USB and the USB power goes off.
If you have a standalone ROKU or one powered by the wall wart it will just sit there and still pull data if you mistakenly just turn off the TV screen and forget to stop it.
If you did that every night by mistake that would pull 750 GB a month all by itself.

Yes, the one in the bedroom has a Roku stick plugged into the HDMI port. It is powered by being plugged into the wall. I tried having it powered by a TV port, but that didn’t work, not enough power apparently.
But yea, I’d just turn off the TV mid program and go to sleep.
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.
