Description:
After "power on", TV screen/sound to be OFF - similar like "soft power off" works. "Soft power off" is a nice feature. You can turn off TV screen/sound and services will work in background. Now we have : "TV" mode, "server" mode and "TV and server" mode.

It will be nice if "power on" does not start RELEASE. And if we are able to receive remote control keys and start RELEASE only when "TV" mode is needed.
As far I know, This is possible only for S6/S7. BCM TVs, RELEASE is needed, other way network does not work. For BCM TV, RELEASE have to be started, but maybe "init" process could be interrupted before screen ON

Reasons:
After reboot, TV screen/sound does start. You need to use remote control and manually to "soft power off". This is very hard work. After reboot, TV screen always starts. if you need "server" mode, If you test something and reboot often - then this is bad for your TV screen.
When RELEASE is not started, you can use more resources in "server" mode. After starting RELEASE you can't kill it. RELEASE does "init" many devices - "soft power off" does not "finalize" all devices and does not free resources. Another reason why, "soft power on" could be very useful.

EDIT:
S7: I can't kill RELEASE. I can start second RELEASE, which does kill first process, but it does not end nice - it does not success to "init" TV properly, TV does not work or I get exception yellow msg on TV screen or I get junk (white/black lines)
BCM: RELEASE can be killed but second RELEASE does not work. "It worked great for RELEASE versions below 3.20.xx" (xeros)

EDIT2: S7 TV starts with "energy saving"=OFF (very bright screen). After startup, RELEASE does adjust to "energy saving"=maximum (for example). It is bad (less or more) in case of reboot.
