Samsung TV left powered on after nightly box update

@XfinityZacharyA​ 

It was off to start with, when Xfinity did the update it turned the TV on  and left it on.   It has happened to me at least twice and to a neighbor.   The TV should be left in the same state it was in prior to the update.   My neighbors TV was turned on while he was on vacation,  it was left on for over a week.

There is no such setting on my Samsung Tv or in the manual.  The “turn on after guide update” has happened twice in the last month but not in the previous 4 years.  The issue is not wifi related as wifi is turned off on my Tv,  I am hardwired by gigabit ethernet directly to the router.

It is very clear on the camera, Tv is off, cable box flashes and Tv is turned on at end of update.  

Does xfinity do a virus check on the guide update?  

Does the xfinity software sense the Tv status and verify it is returned to that status after the update?

@Anon5058 This is definitley an odd situation and one I have not seen before. I would like to dig into this a bit more.
