Waking the Tivo with TV power button

I noticed a while ago that when you press the TV power button on the remote (it works with IR, Bluetooth slide and RF) the remote also sends a signal to a Mini to wake up.
You can try it yourself. Turn on your TV without the Tivo remote and see the Mini sleeping screen, press TV power on the remote and the Mini goes to Tivo Central. It is a neat trick to wake a Mini when you first turn on the TV and never notice that it was ever sleeping.
However this does not work with the Roamio if it is sleeping using the power saving options. It would be nice if it did. The first time I turn on my TV each day it is blank and my first thought is that something broke. But then I realize that it is just sleeping and I have to also hit the Tivo button to start it.
I think the difference is that the Mini is just timed out and the Roamio is going into a standby mode. But it would be nice.
