REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - Weird TV Problem? (certain OTA channels freeze the TV)

I have a few years old Sony 46" LCD...no cable/satellite, just OTA antenna

recently, I have a problem that everytime I switch to a certain channel (TVO), the TV would freeze up...(i.e. black screen, no response, can't change channel /input/volume)

1) The problem can be repeated and happens everytime I switch to that channel
2) Restarting the TV doesn't help
3) The only way I can get rid of the freeze is to turn off the TV and unplug the antenna > turn on the TV and switch to some other channel first before plugging the antenna back in.

I didn't have this problem before and it only started happening like 2 days ago...any idea what's causing it???
