Cello traveller keeps turning itself on. (1 Viewer)

[Wh05apk]

Since connecting a humax freesat recorder by HDMI cable our tv keeps turning itself on, my only thought is that the humax is in standby mode which somehow is sending a signal via HDMI?

I have an Icecrypt sat box connected to my 22" Traveller not noticed any problems but but I have fitted a master switch which turns the TV, sat box, and sat off when I'm not using them.
If it is the Humax I would expect it to only do it when you turn the Humax on shouldn't happen in standby.
Sorry not very helpful.

Well unplug it to test your theory.

Most HDMI devices can switch on the screen is they are active. For example if you've a sky box connected to a screen both on standby, turning on the sky box will make the screen turn on too. This is usually on one of the HDMI sockets and has this communication built in. Sounds like in your setup the humax is producing a signal to the TV - are you sure its off? I'd check the settings in the Humax and make sure its going into standby.
HDMI has many parts to its signal such as copy protection, various audio parts, control and finds out whats connected before allowing any image or audio to be shown. Can often by a right pain but the connection itself is such a weak link and subject to getting damaged.

For that to happen the TV must be on standby rather than off. Does the TV not have a (physical) off switch?

Your Humax box will turn itself on from standby to receive OTA [over the air] updates from time to time.
Your TV, also in stanby, connected by an HDMI cable is recognising that the Humax has woken up so switches itself on to be ready.

Solution:
There maybe a setting on the TV to stop it happening
Unplug the HDMI cable
Unplug the TV from the power socket - or if the TV has a power switch, so it's not left in standby.

Good point, yes they do.
If it's switched off no way can it turn it's self on, the switch is directly in series with the power socket.

Don't think this will help but just in case it does ... my tv at home is DEFINITELY not on standby but it keeps switching itself on every couple of months. It scares the beejeebies out of me.

I used to have a cd player in the lounge which did the same and so I stopped leaving cds in it when it was off. It still insisted on switching on ..just no music.

The Cello Traverller's have a proper on/off switch your TV is probably like our Sony at home two states of standby, and it never really switched off unless you turn it off at the wall socket.

True but quite a few of the replies were immediate responces not even acknowledged with a click of the thank you button.

Fair enough - it bugs me too.
If I start a thread, I try to acknowledge all the responses - well the valid/funny ones .
Trying to be positive - some people aren't well versed in "nettiquette" - some perhaps not aware of the 'ratings' system...



...and some probably don't have the old school values/manners we were brought up with

Sorry for not replying, there is a physical on/off switch , but I always just use the remote, I think the tv is turning itself on when the box is recording or stopping, obviously it is sending some sort of signal down the hdmi cable.

 

[Lenny HB]

Why not use the switch on the TV, I know they don't draw a lot on standby but left constantly in standby is still a drain on your batteries.

I always just use the remote. If it keeps turning itself on, i will resort to the manual switch.
