My television keeps turning it's self on- off- on.after being on for a wee while... true?

If you have a timer on it,which many tv's have a freind of mines done the same and it was causing this problem for him .Not saying this is your problem but give it a thought.Good luck

I know this sounds silly Is the remote facing the TV This is what happened in my mother in laws house Every now and then the remote would change stations and switch TV on and off

I had the same problem with my VCR. It used to play, fast forward, rewind, play etc when I was no-where near the control (in fact, it would come on when I was watching TV, not a video). Lots of other strange things were happening like the radio switching on and off in the night and the microwave switching on itself. I did some research and found the house I was living in was built on ley lines. Sounds like it could possibly be a poltergeist. Eventually I had to move as it was freaking me out. I just hope you're renting the house. Good luck !!!

Maybe there's a poltergeist in your house!

Before you throw the tv away turn the tv on as normal and then remove the batteries from the remote control as I suspect the remote may be giving out false signals. It may also be a sonic remote and someone else near you has a similar tv and yours is picking up the signal. Or it may be picking up a wireless doorbell signal or other device local to you. Please dont even think of ghost or Poltergeists , will you lot get a life. Good Luck

Try yanking the batteries out of the remote. Could be the power button is starting to mess up on it. If the tv still does it, it could be the power switch on the tv, a circuit sensing a problem, something inside overheating, or a power supply starting to go bad. I'm surprised a 3 year set would go bad, but then again, we had problems with ours after only 3 months. At least it was a warranty fix.

mine does that when the batteries are low

You obviously have some paranormal activities in your house. Or your tv. might be haunted. Call another engineer and get another opinion, or go back where you bought the tv from and ask for information. There must be a manufacturer's manual as well, which may contain a website that you can check out. Or call them.

Skip time for that TV me thinks. Get an nice new plasma or LCD hi-def one.
