GE 52GW948 changing channels automatically

 Hello Everyone,

 All of the sudden my GE Projection 52" (GE 52GW948) just started changing channels on its own, tv is about 5-6 years old.  Have not had any issues at all.  I cannot get the channels to stop switching and would like to know how to correct this problem.  It looks like it is trying to program- but not really, it just keeps going to one channel to the next and continues this activity.

I have turned off the TV for at least 30 minutes to see if that would help.  It did not.  I have checked the remotes - no issues and have taken the batteries out of them as well to make sure.  I have Satalite - have taken that off line, and the TV just keeps changing channels.  I have tried to get into the MENU - I get there and it just keeps scrolling up and down through that as well.

 

Can anyone help with this?  Thanks - Kurth

Everyone - Problem solved.

Everyone - Problem solved.

A friend of mine in Austin came up with the fix.  He said have the TV on and then unplug from the outlet for about 5-10 minutes.

 This reset the error in a chip and it seems to be working fine.  The channels are not changing and my TV got a good dusting from the back to the top.
