The one I received did not work. I have purchased other Belkin products -- no problem. But this one would not turn off after the pre-determined time. I contacted Belkin; the representative told me to return the socket.

I would,think so. But it may depend on whether or not you have a separate cable box or how the TV is serviced by cable. For example, my Tv is plugged into electric so if I put one of,the devices on that outlet, it,would,only turn off the TV. My cable box is plugged into a separate electric outlet so I would need a second device for that.

Sorry to say, I am not at all familiar with the technical aspects of how this connects to the TV. I had folks helping me with the hookup. I do know that turning off the TV does not turn off the soundbar...that has to be done with its own remote...the Sound bar takes over the TV's sound. Note that we did have to adjust the TV sound and then the Soundbar sound and then it sounds great. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

As far as I've experience so far, it never turns off unless you turn it off. I left it on overnight one time.

Yes, it immediately turns on when power is applied, regardless of former state. If there is no signal on the (HDMI) input, it will power off within about 30 seconds. When it senses a signal it powered on and remained on unless it was turned off via the pushbutton panel or remote. Works very well and scales signals from 1080i, 720p, WXGA, and others quite well. Some resolutions look sharper than others. I liked 720p the best.

This is intended to hook up to a tv or a/v receiver, which is where you will see the functional menus. If by computer connection you mean "internet", yes, internet is not needed for this to work just fine.No, it doesn't turn off after 30 minutes while playing; not sure if it goes into a "hibernation" state if its on but not being used.

that reviewer might have an old firmware. as long as your TV stays plugged in, it will stay on. Even if you turn the TV off. a possible downside is that it'll make your TV less efficient (roku uses power to stay on). i hesitated on purchasing the stick based on this dang review. glad i pulled the trigger!

It turns off automatically after a few second (10-15)...it should do very well for what you want.

Cesar, I found that it won't work if I connect it to a TV that's already on. connecting it before turning on the tv has worked for me.

No. Unit will turn on automatically with an audio signal or with a remote 12 vdc trigger. You can set it to turn itself off after 1 hr. or several other choices.

To expand on what Marcus said, if you were to turn off your TV manually, the remote doesn't know that. However, if this happens, there's a Help button on the remote you can use to get everything working again. It asks you several yes/no questions about the status of your equipment, and once you're done going through that, then everything's working again.

Yes, it turns off after one minute or five minutes, depending and you selection.

I have it hooked up to my Panasonic tv, and I have to initially power it on separately after turning on tv. When on, you must use the speaker remote to control the volume. The tv remote controls the tv volume. However, if you turn the tv off, the speakers turn off. They don't power off, the just get quiet. You can then turn the tv back on and not have to turn the speakers back on separately. After a while (not really sure how long) the unit will power itself off, and then you will have to turn it back on again when turning the tv on. Hope this helps and wasn't worded confusingly.

No. its a passive splitter. The only way it will work is if you unplug the tv you aren't using. You need to get an active splitter (one that you have to plug in and gets power) in order to do what I think you want to do. At least that was my experience.

I would remove the internal rechargeable battery and unplug the power, after first shutting off the power switch on the tv. Put the battery back in and turn it on, see what happens.

Yes. It has a sleep timer, plus 5 other timers to turn the TV on and off automatically. Mine is on a satellite system, so I'm not using the built-in menu but this is a VERY fully-featured TV, and very attractive too.

Afraid not. It can be set to stay on for a certain amount of time (1-8 hours) then turn off (similar to a sleep timer on a clock radio).

it says in the directions to hold the 'on' button down for 10 seconds to turn it off. Which is what we do. I didn't know it turned off after an hour, we've always done it manually
