In article dd11dcee-9b58-4d46-899e-


My parents' 1-and-a-bit-year-old TV broke down the other week. Stopped
receiving DTV and the settings menus became unavailable.


The repair man reloaded the firmware from a memory card, which fixed it..
Then he asked whether it got switched off at the mains a lot. It did -
every night. He said that that may well have been the cause of firmware
corruption and that they should leave the set on standby.


It's a Toshiba Regza something or other, if that matters.


Mr repair man is talking rubbish to get out of telling you what the real
problem was.


What is the real problem, then?
