Hi,

Tom, WB8TYJ, mentioned his Sony TV having power up  problems
after he used his amp on 20 meters.

The same thing happened to us yesterday for the first time after I had used 
my amp on 75 meters in the morning.  When I tried to change inputs on our 
Sharp lcd TV, the menu suddenly started cycling like a remote button was 
stuck down, but it wasn't.  The only way I could stop it was to pull the 
power cord.  Where upon. the TV refused to power up.

I left the TV unplugged for about 5 minutes, and things returned to normal.

So apparently even though my rf is not interfering with the television video 
when I was on the air, the rf must put gremlins in the remote circuitry 
which can hold a charge for a while.

I'll have to see if it happens again.
