It apparently is a sensitivity to power {voltage} changes.

I always thought it was a "bullet" or whatever they call the zap they send out to mess up any illegal boxes/hook-ups. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20740099 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 01:28:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20726293 Gooser711 : I've had this occur on me as well. Normally during the National Broadcast Emergency test screen that's all green with that annoying high pitched buzzing. Tv would turn on right at that point waking me up at night. My tv that was affected by this was a Sharp Aqueous (sp?) 32", LC-32D6U. I've since moved on to DirecTV and the problem went away.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20726293 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:16:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20536635 boontonflyer : Checked [all] of the menu selections on the TV {and the STB control}. Found "event timer" selections but none of these were activated. Suspect it may be something in the STB logic. When I get time will have to swap this STB with one of the others and narrow it down to the TV or the STB.

PS: Patriot Media did program update at 4 AM. Comcast does it at 3 AM!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20536635 Sun, 25 May 2008 09:10:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20516992 shaffer001 : It sounds like the TV has an auto on feature. I know many have a sleep timer to turn them off. There are a few models that you can use like an alarm clock that come on automatically. The one hour shift is on time may coincide with daylight savings time. Check the menu or manual to see if the TV has this feature, how to access the menu and turn it off. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20516992 Wed, 21 May 2008 11:31:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20479497 boontonflyer : One of our HDTV's turns on (by itself) during the early AM. Turns on during the network system update time. This used to happen at EXACTLY 4 AM (occasionally). Now it happens (occasionally) at EXACTLY 3 AM (since Comcast took over). Only happens to this HDTV (1 of 4 in house).

It would appear that when the "update" happens it either emits a "TV power on signal" [just as if you had pushed the button on the TV or the remote] OR the end of the programming update causes a surge that does it.

PS: Have UPS System (with monitoring PC program) but that doesn't indicate any power fluctuation event on the grid!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20479497 Wed, 14 May 2008 03:23:34 EDT
