My Samsung TV which is about 6 years old switches itself on independently of me ! This happens occasionally. Has this happened to you? Any ideas of stopping it?

Yes, happens to ours too and ours is at least 11 years old.

When I was staying with my daughter I was woken at 3am by people talking loudly downstairs. The TV had turned itself on. It was a bit alarming at that time of the morning.

My Sony has started turning itself off then on again. It is quite old.

Presumably switching off at the mains will solve the issue.
I switch mine off when I don't intend watching TV. smile

Agree with Aldom just switch it off at the socket which I always do at night.

My smart tv turns itself off if it thinks it’s been on too long ( I often leave it on in the background while I m doing other things) it’s very strange when it happens and I feel like saying ‘know all I ll switch you off when I m ready to’
