TV randomly turning on by itself
We have DirectTV Streaming with a connected DIRECTV STREAM Device (Certified Restored). One of the TVs will randomly turn on around 4:00 a.m. I checked the power on and power off settings on the TV there are no times set.
This is also the TV that shows a weak or no signal when we power it on. Even after changing out the HDMI cords we still get the error message, but it does go away when we select a channel.
Thanks in advance.

What type of TV? If it shows weak or no signal when you have ther box connected that could be a bad HDMI cable, bad box, or a bad TV. Perhaps this could explain the TV randomly turning on, it could be detecting the DIRECTV STREAM device. And, since HDMI-CEC is likely turned ON, this triggers the TV itself to turn on.

It is a new Hisense Smart TV. We changed out the HDMI cord when it first happened. I'll contact DirectTV to see what kind of warranty there is on the box.
Thanks!

Before doing that try and see if the stream box works properly on another TV in the house.

Also---turn off HDMI-CEC on your tv. That will stop the Dtv Stream box from triggering it to turn on.
