TV switching itself ON during the night.


Recommended Posts

I have an LG tv 43UP77006LB.BEKFLJP. Just recently, having owned the tv for a couple of years, the tv has taken to switching itself on during the night, usually at about 2.00 am. The tv is connected to a TalkTalk box for recording purposes but that has never caused an issue before. It appears to coincide with connecting a DVD player using an HDMI cable to the tv, although it was only connected for a short time and is now disconnected, so it may be irrelevant.

It appears to be a common problem.

Thanks.

I no longer have a LG TV therefore I am not sure how much of the following is relevant.

Can the TV optionally be controlled over the network, either using WiFi or Ethernet?

Does it do anything else unexpectedly?

Some devices (such as some Tivos) use a combination of light and radio signals (they respond to either but only one is necessary). I once had a TV that was close to a large outside window. Occasionally it would turn off spontaneously. I assumed it was sunlight reflecting off a car. Since this is at night it is not sunlight but it could be infrared from somewhere. Or it could be radio signals if the TV remote responds to radio signals (RF).

Thanks. I have turned off CEC and the problem appears to be solved but I will wait a few more days before being totally convinced.

The only other issue with the TV is that it occasionally switches itself off and then on again after a few seconds - another known issue with LG TVs.

The Radio Time signal for radio controlled clocks and watches is on continuously but it is often activated automatically at 0200 to correct or update a system clock. Just a thought..

Thanks.

      Hello.
       
      Some tutorials explain how to do it. 
      We first need to root the TV with scripts such as RootMyTV, and then install dts_restore. 
      Both tools are free and available at github.  
      I'm not writing the links because I don't know if it's allowed in this forum and because I take no responsibility. 
       
      My question is:
      Has anybody tried this process? Does it work? 
      The documentation says if you have any problem you can just factory reset the TV, but I don't dare to do it.

      I recently updated the firmware on my  LG43UH610V.  Now I constantly get "Wired Lan cable disconnected" / "Wired network is connected" messages even while watching a video file from my NAS. The TV is connected and using the network while getting these messages. It has always been on a fixed IP address on the LAN.

      I recently switched from Comcast to RCN, and the LG Magic Remote does not now control the set-top box. (This is a 2020 or so LG OLED TV). I have gone to the Device Connection Settings in the Connection Menu, and when I click Universal Control Settings, all it shows me is my Sonos soundbar. The Dashboard doesn't seem to give me access to the set-top box either. Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

      I am using the lg tv from 2 years and I found an amazing experience till now.
      But I like request about Play box TV app. Please add this app in store section so that I could download it on my tv. 
      It would be helpful if you respond to my email. This app is very demanding now a days as it comes with the excitel broadband service.
