Samsung television just turns on?
I could use the nsa search engine, but the GLP engine is much better.

I’ve got a Samsung tv, last years model, 55 inch. In the last 3 weeks it has turned itself on at different times. 11pm, midnight, 5 am, and once during the afternoon when we weren’t home.

I live in a secluded rural area, so it’s not a neighbor doing anything to cause it. What gives?

I had a massive Sony TV that used to do that same thing. It's probably just some intermittent malfunction in the electronics. They're all set up to be turned on/off by remote control. Probably electricity leaking into that circuit from a capacitor or something sending a false positive. Check with the manufacturer - probably still under warranty. Could be something in your home too that operates on the same wavelength as your remote.

and don't allow it to connect to any wifi or wired network
