[/quote] I don't want to be mean or nasty but I dont think you are trying hard enough if you can not manually change the 'power on' time so that it does not come on at 6am. getting up at that hour every day to turn off a tv is ridiculous. these tvs are designed for a very broad base of human existence and mental ability. it will tell you how to do it in the manual. if you dont have the manual you can google the model number and download the manual for free. if you just pick up the remote and hit menu or setup or similar button and scroll around until you find things to with time settings you will be able to switch it off.

The past few weeks, my bigscreen television has been turning itself on every morning at 6:00 a.m.
Being the techno-tard that I am, I've been unable to figure out how to re-set the timer on it. So, every morning I have to physically shut the dumb thing off myself. It never really powers off, just goes into something like standby mode...
This morning, however, after I shut it off, I went back into my bedroom to finish getting dressed. I suddenly heard a phone ringing. Funny thing is - I don't have a telephone - and I'd sent the cell with my husband last night before he went to work because I was worried about some car problems we were having.
So - no phone at all in my house.
I went creeping towards the sound trying to figure out how a phone got into my house and I ended up standing right in front of my television where the ringing was apparently coming from. That's where the sound was coming from, alright.
What the heck? Anybody in GLP-Land know what the heck it is?
