Hi All,
I bought a Samsung 40 inch lcd tv (or is it 42)....Anyway, I got it last Summer in Power City. It's hooked up to a digital stb from ntl. A few days ago the screen went black but I could still hear the sound, I assumed it was an ntl signal issue so I changed channels but all were black and again with sound. I switched the TV off and then back on and it resolved the issue. The kids tell me that it's happened them a few times over the last couple of days and now, today, if I change a channel using the digi remote the screen of the TV goes black immediately and I have to switch off/on again to resolve. I'm assuming that it is a TV issue beacuse of the way I resolve the problem.....Has anyone any experience of this problem and suggestions/advice re; same ?? Also, has anyone any experience of Power City's service back up ??
Thanks,

I spoke far, far, far, far too soon - it's all acting up again. Sound, no picture. Picture, no sound. Treble checked the scarts (usually the answer to these problems in the past), but they're fine. Driving me NUTS.
Well....an update, the picture is now disappearing without even changing channel !! I used to work for ntl so I'll make a call to them in the morning to see if they are experiencing any technical issues that could be causing this....I'm hoping it's not the TV but if it was the ntl signal, the stb or the scarts why would switching off/on the TV resolve it......
Thanks r2d2, it would be great to find out from NTL if there's a problem at their end that would explain all this. After my last post last night the whole thing came right again - but when I got up this morning it was haywire againIf I could even work out what was the source of the problem - NTL, TV or DVR - I could try sorting it out. Grrrr.
I have a Philips 37“ LCD TV and am having problems too. When the TV is switched off using the remote it intermittently will not turn back on. The only way to restart it is to unplug it and leave it for 10-15 seconds before plugging it back in and turning it back on. The set was bought last July, its still under warranty but as the fault is not happening every time or even 50% of the time its hard to call a technician over and have him sit there until the error re-occurs. I done a search on google for the model of my TV and found that this is a common fault and the manufacturer knows about it. I just need the error to become more common so I can go back to the shop and demand a resolution.
For this reason I will never buy anything from this manufacturer, I will stick to the Sony or Panasonic that I had for years without a single fault! My mother bout a 40” Samsung LCD and that is starting to have sound problems, there is a constant buzzing sound coming from the speakers. I think what I have learned is that the Sony or Panasonic brands are more expensive for a good reason, they are just better quality.
Any update on this sad saga r2d2?
To be fair the cause of the problem was pretty obscure?the tech who collected the TV probably should have copped on to what the problem was when he saw the set up....
