TV turning on of it's own accord.

How old is it?

If you unplug it at night it should be safe enough!

I'm a terrible skinflint, so I was hoping to get another few years out of the tv.
It is old, though, and was secondhand when I got it.

Unplug it when you go to bed

Sorted.
Don’t leave it on standby.

Quite possibly,if you can get a new one.....

There is probably one of your neighbours who can't understand why their TV won't come on when they press their remote.

Yes.
That's what makes me nervous!
What I'm really asking though, is if it is likely to catch fire or something?

Have you seen Poltergeist?!

It is quite eerie creeping into the living room to find it lit up with a bright green glow from the telly.

I thought my grandson was turning it on as a joke; he thought I had forgotten to turn it off before bed.

Then we caught it in the act.

Definitely not....?

I wouldn't go towards the light when it comes on.

I’d suspect it’s haunted and buy a new one.
