Serious Question About Direct TV Boxes
I've had DTV for almost 7 months now but only in my bedroom. I can't sleep if there's ANY light in the room-not from a smoke detector,alarm clock,etc- and since the DTV box emits a bright blue light,I not only turn the television off at night but shut the box down as well.
Well,every few nights the damn box turns itself on by itself....The blue light wakes me up and it freaks me out!
Question-HOW does this happen? The remote is where I left it on the nightstand and I LIVE ALONE.

Mine does that, also. Lately it has also been turning itself off. I don't sleep near the damn thing, thankfully.

It gets updated thru the line and is turned on remotely so it can update.

The box is updating itself. Usually this happens in the middle of the night so not to disrupt your TV viewing. You can change the scheduler to update to any time you want.

This.
Mine turns itself off regularly, I've only noticed it turning itself on once or twice.

the only way to fix this is to take your tv into a field and shoot it, then go do something constructive

How? It seriously freaks me out since I live alone. I would much rather it do this between 8am and noon.

Remember that test sometime back where the govt. was to take over all tv stations for awhile to test their ability in case of a national emergency? That's the night it started doing it. THAT'S what is so freaky!

Tell ya something even freakier, I was on the phone with DTV tech support once and he casually mentioned, "Oh, I see you're on channel 'such-n-such." WTF?
