FabSwingers.com forum: HOLY SHIT! FREAKED OUT!

My TV just turned itself on! It is a good 2 meters away from me and the remote is on the table next to it!

Someone tell me there is a perfectly normal explanation for it before I invest in a nightlight and refuse to sleep without a light on tonight.

I'm sure there is a normal rational explanation as my PC Tower in my bedroom has a habit of powering itself on and off with no touching of the on buttton and it isn't in standby mode

When it does it at 3 am all rationality goes out the window... its WITCHCRAFT

Must be something in the air today. I was standing at the back door earlier and I'm sure someone sighed ( is that how it's spelt) behind me. Thought the boiler man had come early but there was no one there

We used to wind up a local pub landlord like this. One guy had the same tv at home and used to take the remote to the pub with him.

At one point we had the landlord convinced that one of the old boys could changed the channels by tapping his baccy tin

When I was living at home 6 years, both me, my brother and folks all saw the same thing. Out of nowhere (remember this really vivid) in the living room,to the door was banged with such force it knocked the wood panels out of the door. ALL 4 panels flew across the room, and get this fell in such a position they where stacked and neatly aligned all four on top of each other. Upon jumping up, the mirror above the fire shattered and the shards fell into a nice neat pile. I tell no lies!

I suppose it is only the living that can hurt you. Would be interesting to know if anyone is here but wish they wouldn't scare me to death in the process.

Its a huge terraced house with bay windows , high ceilings and very old but not sure which year it was built. 1800's at least x

Probably an easy answer just to spoil the fun

Have you got low energy bulbs on near it. They do it when they are wearing out. Something to do with giving off IR frequencies that can sometimes match the remote control.

Ours kept changing channel. We phone Panasonic and the repair guy called us and said change your light bulb and call me back. Never done it since

It happens a lot on the older TV's that you can put into standby. Do not know about the new old less than two years old. It is something to do with capacitors leaking charge I think. Do not worry about it. just turn it off at the main if it start doing it a lot.

Chuck a bucket of Holy Water over the telly just to be on the safe side.

However, when you claim on the insurance for a new telly, an event involving tripping whilst carrying water may be the preferred version of events.
