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
Receiver auto on?

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.
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.
Love all the idea (even having a house built on a grave yard) but I've checked everything. It's only the receivers and the past couple nights it's not happened. I had the house rewired when we bought it so I know MY electrical is good. Hard telling with the electric company. I'm assuming it's just a weird weird weird one off
A thought..... are the 3 receivers on the same house circuit? A flakey circuit breaker or loose connection in the fuse box could be causing them to momentarily loose power. The over night temperature cycle could be causing a marginal connection to act up. When they reboot I think they stay on.
Do you have any electrical appliances that you could plug in that doesn't remember the time?
