TV occasionally draws much power in standby?

Hi,

I have a Samsung UE55ES7005 which I have connected via a power strip, a master/slave version where I have the Samsung TV plugged in as a master. This automatically starts the receiver and other acessories when it detects power draw. I have it setup so that it will have to draw much power to react.
Problem is that sometimes I notice that the receiver will start up (because the TV starts drawing more power), this lasts for maybe 30 seconds, and the TV isn't visibly on, screen is off.
At first I thought it was some kind of network check, so I disabled Wifi and unplugged ethernet. Still happens from time to time.

Is there any setting in the TV I can disable? Is there anything in the service menu which can affect this when the TV is in standby?

Thank you!

Maybe TV check for online updates.

I have no ethernet cable connected, and Wifi is turned off. So that should not be it?
I found a way to get into the service menu of the TV, is there any setting here I can try turning off?
