anon posted : I think we can both agree that there is nothing in a Home that would effect the software in a Re-Boot process to Boot to a Power On unless its by design. I just re-booted my 4250....it powered to ON. This issue began following the Software Upgrade.

I will admit that the 2 prior incidents when I woke-up finding all my Boxes ON may have been caused by an overnight momentary Power Outage causing all the Boxes to Re-Boot, but if the Boxes should re-boot to OFF, all 3 of mine are not.

Has happened twice, all after Software Upgrade...last time was last Thursday.

May have partial answer....watched my 8742 re-Boot just now......it went thru its normal display sequence.....but I saw a difference at the end. It went to the TIME then it Powered ON, then it went to 2d....and than my On-Channel which is 1009. So at this Point in the re-Boot process, my Box was ON. As I wrote, all 3 of my Boxes Re-Boot this way.

As I recall, Re-Boots prior to recent software changes stopped at the Time.....with the Box Powered Off.

Is it possible that the recent Software update has somehow been changed to where a re-Boot Powers on the Box at Re-Boot completion? if that is the case and my area incurred a momentary Power outage, that would cause the Boxes to re-Boot resulting in the Boxes Powered on following the re-Boot.

BHNtechXpert; re-boot a 8742 there and see if it completes at Power On or Off.

Found all 3 of my Boxes Powered on this morning. I have Two 8742's and One 4640.

I did Re-Boot all boxes again after finding them on this morning....but what is the likelihood all 3 of my Boxes would start having this same issue at the same time......seems more likely a software or network issue? This now makes 2 times this has happened since 10/3/12.......

House haunted by some chance? Kids playing a trick on you? Power problems? RB you are the only instance of this I have heard of and having three boxes all doing it makes me think something else at your home is more likely the culprit.

off the power before we go to bed. I was told a cable box uses as much power as a refrigerator even when powered off and plugged in. I saw my electric bill go down $30 a month since I started this.... just an fyi

The next few mornings will be telling

Would the Guide update have caused the Boxes to power on because I know with certainty.....all boxes were off before we went sleep last night.

anon posted : Yesterday the new Guide showed up on all 3 of our Boxes. Today when we got up all 3 Boxes (2 DVR's and 1 HD Box) were Powered On. Now I know we didn't fail to turn off all 3 Boxes yesterday.

This resulted because the Software Upgrade required a Power On?

Since we got the Guide yesterday we thought the Upgrade was complete......but it is still ongoing?
