Philips TV Problem

    Hey folks,

    Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this posting but I was wondering could anyone help. I bought a 48" Philips TV about two years ago (model number is 47pfl3605h/12) and in the last couple of months I've had a couple of problems with it, mainly to do with the standby function.

    From time to time the TV will knock itself off and start over again when you're watching something (say for 20-30secs) almost like its restarting itself.

    More annoyingly, other times when I go to turn itself on it'll stay stuck in standby mode but try to turn itself on so you'll see the standby red light go off as it tries to turn on but once it fails it goes back to standbys meaning you just get a flashing red light. The way around this seems to be powering off the entire unit and playing with the HDMI cable (changing it from the main port to the side one or vice versa) and eventually it'll start up.

    There's no rhyme or reason to it, it'll be fine for weeks then it'll crop up for a day/few days then go again. Has anyone had any similar experiences or suggested ideas as to what it may be.

    The TV is also connected to a UPC HD box and a Samsung Crystal Air Track surround sound system (model number HW-E450)

    Grateful for any advice (and apologies again if I'm in the wrong thread)

    Have you got the latest firmware? You'll find it on there site. Copy to USB stick unzip it and stick it in the USB on the TV. Power on TV and follow instructions

    Could there be motion sensing power saving turned on, I've this on my TV, if there's no motion in the room for an hour or so the TV turns off.
