Whether I do it from the remote or turn it off via the TV I come back later and it's turned itself back on again? Anyone got any idea why it's doing this? My TV is a Dell LCD monitor.

For now I have to keep turning the box off when I want the TV permanently off.

How are you connecting the monitor to the box?

There's an HDMI and a SCART cable connected.

Re: Service installed today, TV keeps turning itself back on?!

Is there any pattern to the TV switching on? i.e during the day or only when artificial light is on

What box is it? I assume HD as it has HDMI and I presume V+ as scart as well.

Whats the model of the monitor? Seems unusual to have a scart connection but not impossible.
