Happens about every 10 minutes. Watched Eastenders and every ten minutes off it went. Switched to the Liverpool game on ITV last night and not a single problem. Switched to the BBC News and off it went again every 10 minutes. Tried BBc2 , 3 , 4 and all the same. Tried More 4, Sky Sports and others and all OK.

TV is a Sony KDL D3000

Truly bizarre.

We were going to get the TV looked at but I'm starting to think that there is something wrong with the BBC signal. As I say makes no difference if aerial or cable.
We don't seem to have a similar problem.
The TV switching off only happens (99% of the time) during commercial breaks! Therefore, it never happens when tuned to the BBC.
It has happened a lot while tuned to Setanta and to Sky Sports.
It's a total mystery. We can watch the first half of a football match with no interruptions, then at half time the commercials come on and the TV turns off 2 or 3 (or more) times. Then we can watch the second half without interruption. There's gotta be a logical explanation, surely.
Come on you lot in the know. Share.
