AC Power to TV

Quote:
On some TVs at least, if you unplug it while the power switch is on, the TV will turn itself back on when you plug it in again so when it's plugged into the cable converter's auxiliary receptacle the TV will automatically come on when you turn the cable box on (i used to have my old Sony Trinitron connected this way).


I don't know if this works on current TVs or not, and i don't know if it harms the TV or not but i did it this way for a few years and had no problems, but i don't think i'd want to risk it with a new expensive TV.

Dougf my HDTV has 3 fans running when on, after watching my movie I turn off the AC current within 3 minutes for the hot air to cool. I have 22,057 hours of watching movies and the current is stopped every time. Using this system I am able to have this HDTV running years after other sets have gone to the junk pile, there is another AVS member who does the exact same thing I do. We save the fan from running 24 hours a day, like your/our computer the fans stops when you safely stop the power saving your settings, the HDTV works the same way. 22,057 hours is equal to 2.51 years of being plugged in. You have to believe that companies like RCA, Hitachi Sony know what they're doing, we created a way to extend the life of our premium view with the built in integrated line doubler if turned off, until next time this turning off the AC will add many more years of watching movies. I do not by choice subscribe to any commercial *filled* Cable or Direct TV, it was bought to view DVD movies not commercials AKA SPAM. Ask around the members who know, know that the components although the AC has been shut off still keep memories that were programmed into it.



Example if I watched a wide screen movie the last time when turned on again, it will be set for another wide screen movie, 'only' the clock won't be set to the right time, who needs yet another clock to view IMHO.
