If it is an older set with an analogue tuner as well, chances are it is starting in analogue mode, and you have to press a button to change to digital mode.

I have seen this happen a lot! Keeping the set on should allow it to receive software updates (which should kill the analogue tuner), or you could try forcing it to look for them.

We have a few Panasonic DVDram recorders that seemed to have failed due to this situation (so I got them for a song). Eventually Panasonic sent me a update disk as they had stopped transmitting updates over the radio channels years before.
