Got woken up this morning by the TV blaring. I don’t watch TV. Turned it off and got into the shower. Came out and it was back on.. blaring again. The volume controls itself and apparently likes to waver around 80-90dB. Weird thing is it keeps going to a certain Latino channel. I had to unplug the damn thing to make it stop. Hope it doesn’t come on tonight or the hotel will have to collect their possessed TV from the flower bed down below. I’m just gonna chuck it from the balcony too.

I’ve been in this hotel for 4 months and never touched the TV. So it is odd that it just came on today. I’m wondering if it shorted out somewhere. That doesn’t explain why it would go back to the Latino channel every time. I switched the channels and turned it off at the power instead of the remote (full off) and it still came back on and surfed to the Latino channel as I watched.

I want to get to the bottom of this and figure out why it’s happening. I’m guessing this just a shorted circuit. I ruled out the remote playing up because I took out the battery and that didn’t stop the TV. I just can’t figure out why it would surf to a channel, then turn up the volume on that channel.

My other guess is someone is playing a prank on me. It has turned on while I’m on the balcony so I think it is unlikely someone is using a remote, since it wouldn’t penetrate a wall, would it? They could also be doing it without knowing it. Maybe the hotel walls are thin enough.
