peterson 0 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 My TVs going mad. It seems ok for 30 minutes or so, then suddenly the channels start changing without me doing anything at all - its as if I'm sat there with the remote zapping away. As you can imagine, it makes it almost unwatchable. I'm holding on to a bit of hope that it is a small problem, but at the back of my mind it seems that its kapput. Anyone have any idea that might give me hope that I don't need a new box?? Link to post Share on other sites

fukdane 2 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Just ignoring the petty handbags that's going on for a moment ..... Something similar happened to my tv a couple of years back and I took it to an electric shop (that happens to have a good friend on staff). They were able to fix it. It was a fairly new tv though - how old is your box? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 By the way, I was not referring to your knowledge of tv programs. But none the less, you prove it well yet again. 100% out of rhythm. Link to post Share on other sites
peterson 0 Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 It's quite old actually, nothing special. It might be a good time to get something new and decent anyway. Did they tell you what was wrong with yours? Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Nope, sorry. Only took them 5 minutes thought whatever it was. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Sorry to hear that. My old one was on the blink, thats the excuse I had to buy my new monster. I hardly watch any tv - it's all dvds on demand. Excellent. Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I think you should check your bum crack for the TV remote Childish I know, slow work day! Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 If you live in a densely populated area (just abotu everywhere in Tokyo) you could consider the fact that someone living close by has the same model and everytime they use their remote your TV picks it up. A highly remote chance I know, but nonetheless is food for thought. Link to post Share on other sites
gammaman 0 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 You could check to see if it is actually the T.V. by taking the batteries out of the remote. So at least you won`t have the extra weight of the remote when you carry it to the shop Hope that helps. Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Try the above it may well work. It worked with me. My remocon was out of control. Link to post Share on other sites
