I have a blinking on-off pixel box that's maybe 1-2" rectangular at the bottom of the TV's viewing area (it's for YES, the Yankees station)...it's the only one, same location, but no other channel (SD or HD) had it. So I knew this was NOT a Philips problem but either a cable or channel problem.

Last Thurday when I came home, my wife said the tv was not working. I turned everything on (Harmony 880) and there was no picture or sound. I could get the HD Cable guide to show, but the box in the corners that usually shows what is on the current channel was blank. The channel info bars showed on the bottom of the screen as well. I popped in a dvd and then a Blu-ray and those worked also. I called Cox, and the tech sent a signal down the line and re-booted my cable box, and the picture returned. He said that "sometimes this happens" and he doesn't know why. Well, the next day I was walking by the TV and saw a bunch of fast moving "sparkles" on the screen. You have to look hard to see them from normal viewing distance, but right up by the screen they are very noticeable. It looks like muti-colored glitter being spinkled on the screen. When you change the channel, when that "grey screen" between channels appears, you can really see them. I have the cable guy coming out Tuesday to check it out.
