Thanks, I'll have to check that out.
Well my theory was quickly destroyed.. it turned on again last night at 2:40am, and this time it hadn't checked for an update. I'm getting ready to return the TV, since this is for the bedroom and I'm going to end up throwing it out a window in a fit of overnight rage.
Bummer. My TV is also for the bedroom. So, Mrs. Lincoln, other than that, how did you enjoy the play?
I have multiple Roku remotes. They seemed to be paired as they don’t control any tv but the one assigned.
I'm experiencing the same issue on the Roku Streambar, so it's not limited to the TCL tv alone if anyone was wondering
If you are sure it is not the remote app, Alexa, airplay or similar network activity triggering it, sometimes just power cycling devices (pull the plug, not just with the power switch) will clear up some strange activity.

I like that suggestion. The good old hard reboot often does the trick.
I discovered three solutions.
1. After turning off tv with TCL remote I unplug the tv briefly. (Not a good solution)
2. After turning off tv with TCL remote I remove the batteries from remote, briefly.(Better, but not good solution)
3. I downloaded the Roku Remote app and use that solved the problem. (Now I want TCL to replace this defective remote that came with the TV
