I have been using my T165 for about 2 months without the power up issue you mention. I shut it off when not in use and never have the issue you describe. The only issue I have is when a station sends bad PSIP data (this is bad according to Samsung) the box goes into a continuous reboot cycle. This only happens in my area on the PBS channels that do multicasting. When the station is not being used the T165 can not handle it.
