I have had a Sony KDL-46EX711 tv for about a year.
When turned on, you first get a a Sony logo sound
and Sony on the screen and then it might be 6 seconds
before you can control any functions with the remote.
It acts like a computer booting up.
Recently, it stopped giving the Sony logos and comes on
showing what channel was last watched immediately and
you can change channel or volume immediately.

Why does it work the way I want it to NOW, after a year?

Your TV is in quick start mode. Basically, it's not shutting fully down,
but keeping the computer part running, which uses quite a bit of power.

I'll pay the electric bill, even my wife hated waiting for it to boot up.
