Pressing the power button on the remote of a FIRE TV device does not turn it off. It puts it into sleep mode. The only way to power of a FIRE TV device is to unplug it.

He's talking about killing the power to his TV, which then in turn kills the power to the USB port, which then in turn kills the power to his fire stick.

Every Fire TV device I have seen is powered on/off by plugging it into an outlet. Not via USB. Not saying it isn't possible but I don't think he said it was powered via a TV USB port. He said "our Firesticks shut off with the TV's". If his Fire TV is plugged into an electrical outlet pressing the power button on a FIRE TV remote does appear to do that but the Fire TV is actually asleep...not powered off.

Our Firestick IS powered by the ROKU TV's USB port that powers off with the TV. The power button on the Firestick remote turns the TV on and off. The cords that power Firesticks are ordinary USB cables, and the mini-brick supply that comes with them is nothing special. It's no different than the power supplies that come with phones, tablets, etc.

In that case it is truly powered off when you turn the TV off.
