Kill aTV?

Reason i ask as my tosh tv has died a death, picture started going liney on start up but went ok after say 15mins, then a week later the lines stayed the same but the picture went blotchey kind of like catoon faces!

So i have had the tv put into repair at a cost of 300 quid as some module and other part have gone, this was 2 weeks ago and in the mean time we have brought the boys tv downstairs for the duration BUT i have noticed the picture has started to flicker and im concerned the same problem is occuring with this set.

So the question is can sky knacker a tv or can some other problem be causing this or is it just coincidence???

Worried as my tv comes home monday and dont want to kill it again!!

SKY itself cannot kill a TV, but the signal you put into the back of it can. If you put too much signal into the back of a TV then it can cause problems, however the kit in your house is designed to try and avoid doing this.

Maybe you have a dodgy amp on the line or something. I know ours is not good as I get electric shocks off the TV aerial lead when I handle it. Its killed about 4 digi boxes in its time, cheap crap ones I might add. Anything that is good is fine.
