It can happen to anyone, your TV might be broken, I had one TV before that is keep on opening by itself the switch has a problem. Try to unplug the power source, if it turn itself open then you might have a difficult problem to deal with.

I so totally have had the same problem! Is that freaky or what?
In my case I had an old tv with one of the whistle things that turn it on and off remotely - so the tv was turned on all the time by it's old turn and click switch, but this whistle turned it on and off. I lived right by where a train went by and I thought that must have triggered it. I was able to stop it by physically turning the switch to off.
At first i thought the cat turned it on somehow or that someone was in the apartment. It's way scary to be woken up like that in the middle of the night.
Peace!

Yes, our TV is fairly new and it does the same thing sometimes. My husband works for an electric company and he says power surges can cause the TV to turn on.
Make sure you have a surge protector plugged into the wall and the TV plugged into the surge protector. If it still happens after you've done that, you should have the electriicity in your home checked to make sure there aren't faulty wires causing the problems. If there are faulty wires you should have them fixed = they could be a fire hazard.

Nope. Get it checked by a good TV Service guy. It can happen if the power goes off and comes on suddenly.

This one time, I was with my friends watching this unmarked videotape that we found at the video store. It was really weird, it showed stuff like a chair and a ladder and some lady brushing her hair... Anyways, seven days after we watched it, my TV turned on all by itself! I forgot to mention that I'm dead now.
Is that what happened to you too?

My boys have an old television in their room every once in a while when they turn it off it will turn right back on. I think it is because of a faulty mechanism in the switch.

Yes that happens when we have a Digital Cable box connected
to our TV.

no not mine but sometimes when I am in the livingroom watching t.v. my radio decides to come on. I have no idea where the remote is either.
