I have a client with several Sharp Aquous flat screen TV's
(various sizes). They are in a house that is un-occupied
for months at a time.

I check the house every few weeks and nearly always,
one of the TV's will be turned on.

I've ruled out a flaky remote; but, other than a ghost, have
run out of ideas.

Suggestions?
Had a TV that would go on---it seems that it was very responsive to power
surges. Since today's TVs are usually powered all the time, even when
off,
why not just pull the plugs on all the electronics--safer that way.

The nefarious "surge" does seem a likely candidate.
