TV turning itself off

[Carlos]

I have a Toshiba 32" TV and for the last 2 days now it has been turning itself off within 20 minutes of it being turned on - does anyone know why this is happening?

I would suggest a visit from your local tv repair man.

Check the manual - someone may have switched on the "standby" mode, which turns the TV off after a certain period, for example if you wanted to watch the set before going to sleep.
