Well, it's a difficult and funny situation. I will provide a funny
solution as well.

When your receiver is waking up, hunt down for the App-Killer app and
kill it. :) There's always a compromise that has to be made in such
cases. You cannot really do anything. Maybe, your receiver needs to
wake up less frequently to get away from the Killer program.

Thanks and Regards,

But, yes, this is kind of irritating.
