Hi,
I have a HDTV set top box hooked up to an LCD monitor which serves ass my tv. Ever since a couple of days ago when we set it up it has been turning itself on for a few seconds and then off. I have noticed it usually happens around every 4 hours and it gets annoying especially in the middle of the night having the tv turn itself on.
Does any know how I could stop this from happening? We have already tried adjusting the sleep time on the box but it doesn't help.
Thanks,
Nightwalker
Make and model of the box?
I've noticed my Direct TV DVR has a tendency to turn itself on occasionally(I think it's related to automatic firmware/software updates, probably not an issue for your box??). But it doesn't turn the TV on. That's even more weird.

Edit:
I just looked at the "wake up" mode settings and found they are all in the disabled/off position.
Hmmm. 9 results on Google.... Do you have the phone number to a tech support, or the manufacturer's website? Have you tried contacting them?
Unfortunately, there were none in the manual! I will see if I find anything on google.
Edit:
Jaycar Electronics Products the list from the site we bought the receiver from.
Probably phoning home to report your viewing habits... for "statistical purposes." ;)

I will try a factory reset ans see if that makes any difference.
Edit:
I have just preformed a factory rest hopefully it solves the problem.
:mad: The factory reset did not solve the problem! I think I am going have to ring the shop I bought it from and ask them if they can help me solve the problem.
Edit:
Well! My dad decided to swap my set top box with the other he and my mum were using in their room. He said he didn't experience the problem with the set top box I was using and the one he was using doesn't play up either when connected to my lcd tv monitor.
