    Default Turning it off and on again

    Hope I'm posting in the correct area I did a software update on my LG TV and afterwards the TV would turn itself off and on, 4 or 5 times every now and then when changing channels, I tried all sorts of things in settings to no avail. A few Google hits and the advice was to unplug the TV for a minute, bingo!! So why does cutting the power supply often fix equipment issues?

    Probably a glitch in the ram from the update.
    Unplugging for a short while will drain the charge on it and reset to normal.
    It's a good fix for tvs

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Modern TV's are basically computers which are built for a specialised purpose, watching TV programs received from Terrestrial radio transmission, satellites and digital transmissions. When you powered yours off and left it for a minute or so you performed a full reboot of the system, and this would have likely re-initialised all the software, including the last update(patch) and your setting presets. I suspect that the software update did not completely install or it glitched, hence the problems you had. Hopefully all will be good from now on

    Yes all Good now, no problems at all, ta for your replies. The issues occurred at the same time as buying a new sounbar, unfortunately I assumed that this was the problem somehow and returned it
