My TV occasionally turns on unexpectedly. I'm pretty sure it is the Xfinity Flex streaming box that is connected to it telling it to do so.
It used to happen between 3 and 4 am, if I remember correctly, and was very annoying because the TV is in the same room I sleep in.
I guessed that it might be the Flex box doing it after I remembered that the Flex box was scheduled do to automatic updates between 3 and 4 am. My guess was that sometimes when it reboots after an update it turned on the TV.
To check that I changed the update schedule to do them between 2 and 3 pm. Sure enough the unexpected turn ons then started happening between 2 and 3 pm which is pretty good evidence my guess about the Flex being responsible was right.
- do_not_redeem 2y agoThat's crazy of you to sacrifice your sleep enough nights to notice a pattern. The extent of my patience would be 1st night - disable CEC on the TV 2nd night - to hell with you, into the garbage it goes

- nosioptar 2y agoYou're way more patient than me. If any of my devices turn on in the middle of the night, they get the business end of a 48" crowbar that weighs too damned much. They all saw what happened to the printer when it refused to print a black and white document without yellow ink. I think their fear will keep them in line.
