Some TVs have a feature that allows them to be controlled by connected devices. It's generically called CEC, but TV manufacturers tend to make up a different name, such as EasyLink, Simplink or AnyNet+. I'm not sure what it would be called on your TV, but have a dig about in the TV menus to see if you can find any settings like that. If you can, change the setting to off/disable.

I'd recommend you also disable auto power saving on the TiVo, like this:
Home-> Help & Settings -> Settings -> Devices -> Power Saving Setting -> Off

That's puzzling. Is your Superhub close to the TV? If so, are they plugged into the same mains extension lead?
