ONLY when watching the footy and Red hot:o my screen powers down every two minutes and I have to adjust volume or anything else on my remote for the screen to brighten up again...any ideas peeps? Oh its a 37" panasonic plasma wiv freeview. Any tips would be appreciated!

I havent used that tv, but when you say 'powering down' des the screen just go dark, then the volume will light it up again?

It might be to do with the mheg, your tv might think if there has been no interaction withn 2 minutes, then power down(stops the screen burning with static images).

Have a look around in the menus for MHEG options or something.

Hi Shaka,

Don't allow your wife to hold the remote while you are watching the footie or anything else for that matter

sorry mate its all i could think of

Yes m8, the screen goes dark (although you can still see the picture) and touching the remote powers it up again. Can't see mheg in menus anywhere. There IS a power save function, although its in the OFF position. Theres also a screen saver function (set at two minutes) but that should'nt power it down!...The bit I dont understand is...why only on these 2 channels? Oh and as for letting the missus touch my remote..I should be so lucky!!

Its because they are mheg applications, showing what is being transmitted on a hidden stream.

Try disabling the screensaver when using PPV stuff.

Dont really understand that but I'll certainly give it a bash and post the result.

Yip! Did the trick DOS, don't understand, but who cares? Rep points added M8. PS. Do folk actually PAY to watch that Red hot junk??:o
