One of you laid on the remote hit the on button while the weight of your body turned the volume all the way up. But if you want us to say, "OMG! It was a ghost!" then... OH MY GOD! You're silly.

sorry not so......remote was above my head on a bookshelf.....still in the same place it was when I put it there when we turned in. Nothing rolled on it or touched it to make this happen. I will most definitely unplug and replug as soon as my husband gets up for work...he was lucky enough to be able to fall back asleep!

Actually, most tv's will turn on their tuners at 1:30 am to 2:00am to upload tvguide menus for the following day, even if they are recieving cable. You should check your manual to see if it has this feature. However, your computer chip might be going bad if it turned on the tube and sound as well as the tuner.

yes it wakes us at 4:30 every morning. I'll let you know in a few minutes if it still goes off. We have been having it set at 4:30am for years though. Maybe it is the chip, the set is about 4yrs old.

Do you have those new Halogen globes? They can affect TV's.

Is this true or another tale?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 830974



Not sure. It can change the channels. Can't see why it couldn't turn the TV on and off too as its got something to do with the remote frequency. If the TV is in stand by it might be able to turn it on.

I used to have a TV that did that. It was a bad relay in the power circuit. The dogs are probably freaking out because they sense that you are freaking out.

Re: OMG I am freakin out..............mystery solved!!
I still think it is the tv guide settings and the chip starting to fail. So you probably have nothing to worry about.

However, and this is not meant to be funny, sometimes angels, the good ones, can wake us up to prevent something, like being snake bit, spider bit, or killed by an intruder. So when daylight happens, I'd look around the place.

Also, earthquake's can put out a lot of static electricity before they shear and make the waves. I wonder if you are on any fault line?

Re: OMG I am freakin out..............mystery solved!!
I'd say it is some sort of Ghost/Spirit entity.
I used to live in an old house, built between 1825-1840, by slaves.
It was the most haunted place I've ever encountered!
It was not unusual for them to turn on the TV, just like you described.
I can remember going round and round 1 night...they'd turn it on, I'd turn it off, back and forth, for over an hour!

I also saw where someone mentioned turning on water faucets...I've had that happen too...wake up and the bathroom faucets were on , running full blast! ( it didn't stop until I had the previous owner of the house come over and go talk to his dead wife, that was still in the bathroom, where she had died. At first he laughed, but he did go in there and talk to her, tell her to stop it, that she was dead, and needed to go on and cross over. After his visit, she stopped with the water faucets in there)

I found that if I told them, that it was time to stop, they had "gotten my attention", they would stop the nonsense.
So, just be strong with them, tell them " enough is enough! leave the damn TV alone!"...LOL..and I bet they leave the TV alone... ;)
