TV tribulations

SIR – John Hinton (Letters, October 19) suggests switching a smart TV off at the plug to prevent it from switching itself on.

However, this will cause it to reboot when it is plugged back in, and it will take even longer to start showing programmes than those old-style TVS with cathode ray tubes that had to “warm up”. Michael Bacon

SIR – Our smart TV woke us up three nights out of four.

My solution is to turn the volume down to nil before switching it off. Ros Mackay
