I have some updates.

The "turning itself on" is really a reboot, the V6 has been rebooting all the time. Called VM and they improved the wiring and then swapped my V6 for a new one. Still it kept on rebooting. Finally the VM Tech consulted with his tech guy who suggested I use a different HDMI port. Cured the whole problem. The reason I had to use that HDMI port because it is a MHL port and it complies with VM's HDCP 2.2, so that I can watch catchup and on demand at 2160 video display. Apparent V6 is know for having problems like rebooting with the MHL port for a certain brand of TV, mine happens to be a Samsung. Now I moved to a non MHL port I have to use 1080 video output for catchup and on demand to function properly. Thats OK as 2160 is not that common for now, if I need to I will move it back to MHL HDMI for whatever 4K I what to watch.
