Yes, I had the same probelm with mine too. However, at the time it was under warranty, so the repair person came out and installed a new tuner. After that, the tv worked fine again for 4 more years till last week. We had a big electrical storm, and I believe that the tuner blew out again during the storm. All it takes on these tv's is a little more juice in the line, and I believe that the tuner picks up the surge. It makes sense because the first time it happened, it was after a large storm as well. Point made: if you know that bad weather is headed your way, unplug your sony so you wont have to repair it.
