[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1231630, member: 141969"] My Sony smart TV powers up overnight. I think that it does this to check the Sony website to see if there is a new firmware to download. I discovered this because I had connected the ethernet port of the TV to the ethernet port on my HTPC, with "wake on connection" enabled. I wanted to be able to switch on the TV, and have that trigger the HTPC to wake. That worked :eek:, but I did not want the HTPC waking up unnecessarily overnight, so in the end I chose a different solution. I suspect that the screen stays off when the TV powers up in this fashion. I don't know anything about CEC, but perhaps there is some similarity in behaviour in this scenario. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
