TV turns on during the night

[DK26]

During the night the tv turns on, showing the stand by screen. We have tried turning off various options but to no avail.

What are you referring to as the Standby screen @DK26 ??

When Sky does a back up during the night it turns the screen on that shows the icons showing the tv and Sky box etc

Assume this is your Television set @DK26.

So are you saying that the Television is in standby and then turns on showing the HDMI inputs screen?

Sorry, yes, I wasn't clear in my comment

@DK26  In the Sky Q setting menu (not sure where as it's a long time since I had Sky Q) there should be a setting for HDMI control, if it's on turn off.

There will also be a setting in your Television for HDMI CEC Control.

What brand and model is your Telly?

Thank you for your time, I will have a read.

I would try unplugging the hdmi one night and seeing if it still turns itself on

I'd be interested to know what that Samsung Event Log says.

It's not always HDMI CEC doing it.  In fact it should not be doing it as the Sky box doesn't send the signal when it "turns on" after it's nightly reboot.  Not having HDMI CEC turned on can be a bit inconvenient.

We had a similar issue when we first got our replacement Panasonic TV a few years ago.  Here's the archived post I logged on that very subject:

https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Archive/TV-turning-on-overnight/m-p/3778675

It's got all the fancy HDMI stuff, but (for legacy device support) it can also detect any change of signal on selected HDMI ports and auto-switch to that port.

With this option turned on the TV was turning on each morning when the Sky box rebooted.

I don't know whether Samsungs have a similar option?  Most TVs have so many options now-a-days and of course each manufacturer makes up their own terms so it's hard to match options from manufacturer to manufacturer.
