KD-48A9 turning itself back on

[ccarmock]

I have a KD-48A9, which is running the latest firmware 6.6152.  I find that sometimes after watching a recording made on my Panasonic DMR-BWT800, when I put the Panasonic into standby and then turn off the TV a few seconds later it will turn on again.

I turn it off again and a few seconds later it will turn on.The two external devices connected are the Panasonic recorder mentioned and a Sky+HD box.

I find that if I long press the TV power button and then do a restart, wait for it to come back on and turn off again then it will stay off.  This makes me feel it is not a connected device, but rather a software bug on the TV.   Has anyone else experienced this?

Check the On timer or the Bravia sync settings: https://helpguide.sony.net/tv/haep1/v1/en/08-08_02.html

Confirmed there are no timers set

We have a Sony KD-49XH9505 and a Humax Aura Freeview recorder which also occasionally turns back on. Also we often find the TV has to be restarted in order for it to access the Humax. We only bought the Humax because the HDD recording facility on the Sony was problematic.

We also have a Sony KD-43XH8505 with which we have persevered with HDD recordings. This also often has to be restarted in order to access the HDD. Another problem is that the details for recorded programmes are often wrong.

I've exchanged many messages with Sony Support about these and similar problems since we bought the two TVs in late 2020. I've spent a lot of time responding to Sony Support and experimenting with settings on the TVs and factory resets. Some of the problems were resolved by a software update but otherwise making and watching Freeview recordings on these Sony Android TVs continues to be a frustrating experience.
