We have a Samsung smart TV and a separate Soundbar.

I normally start the TV with AppleTV and then the Soundbar with a special remote control.

All of a sudden, with no one around, both the TV and the Soundbar start up.

Please explain how this can happen! I do'nt understand anything

Try changing the remote control batteries. I know it sounds unlikely but they can often generate weird signals that cause random problems

or remove the batteries to take them out of the equation

Hi guys,

and thanks for the tip. Still strange as I have a controller for the TV and another for the Soundbar.

Bit of a long shot but do you have a facility on your TV Guide to schedule future reminders or recordings? I have 2 Sony Bravias in the UK and if within the Freesat TV Guide or Freeview Play Guide i set a reminder and then watch a different channel, both the TV's change channel automatically for the reminder I've set. But in addition to that though, if i set a reminder and forget about it and have an early night and turn the TV off, it switches on for the reminder - AND stays on after. I came down in the morning a few times and found the lounge TV on and got woken up by the bedroom TV a few times in the middle of the night before i realised what was happening.
