Hi, I have already had returned one tv to a local retailer for switching it`s self off or at leaset on to standby, but now the replacement a different brand is doing the same...........
Any ideas?

I read something about this in a letter to HCC magazine once and it was a fault with a chip and he took it back and got a replacement and the new one did the same I think it may have been a toshiba of some kind but not sure? What make is it and if it is the same as the one in the letter you can get a chip to fix it they should do it free of charge

Yep,

Had exactly the same, except it also switched it self on !! Came home from work one night and thought I had burglars. Strange thing is it hasn't done it for a year (since being in a new house !) ...the wife swears blind it was a ghost at our old house .... and who am i to argue.
