Receiver auto on?

[Hutch1814]

K, what the crap!? Since the last software download my receivers randomly come on. I'll shut them off before bed and wake up and all 3 are powered back on. 2 HR24's and an HR22. Anybody else had this or seen this!? I've talked to several techs in my market and they're all giving me the "house is haunted" but I really am lost. I don't care that they come on its just mind blowing what and why they're doing it

Is this happening regularly ?

I ask because as you know, if an Update comes down over night it will turn on automatically and stay on.

This would not be happening regularly though.

I had a box with a loose power connection and it would reboot frequently so any interruption in power could cause them all to reboot and stay on.

Checked all connections, tight like tiger! It happens every night. It's got me lost. I'm wondering if the storms we've had (bad lightning) had anything to do with it.

Maybe you took a hit and it got your Power Supply and now it's intermittently going out ?

However, you said recvrs, thus it's more than one, so I would rule out that guess as it would not happen to ALL of them.

Hello Hutch1814,

A question comes to mind. Do any of the receivers get their power from a UPS? If not hen try one of the receivers plugged into a UPS. If it still turns the tv on then it sounds like something wrong with the power supply in each receiver. If not then a suggestion is to a call an electrician to check out your house for electrical problems. Less likely but still possible that your electrical provider aka power company could be having problems providing a steady supply of electricity (could be dropping and then spiking upward overshooting and then coming back to normal power [example dropping to below 100 v and then shooting up to 130v and then back to a nominal 120v give or take a few volts]). This power surge could be turning on your receivers if their power supplies were marginal. No I don't think that you live in a haunted house. Remember the show "X Files". The truth is out there.
