    What does it mean if my TV keeps turning on and off?
    trinidad
    over 1 year ago
    If your TV turns on or off at regular intervals, such as 30 minutes to an hour, it's likely caused by power saving functions such as Idle TV Standby, On Timer, and Sleep Timer. If the TV turns on or off when an HDMI-connected device is powered on or off, check the BraviaBraviaSony Television, Sony TV, or Sony HD may refer to any of the following television-related products from Japanese conglomerate Sony: Television sets designed and manufactured by Sony Corporation in Japan.

While 3D movies haven’t totally taken over the multiplex, the format remains a force to be reckoned with. Michael Bay just released a new Transformers installment in 3D (Transformers: Dark of the Moon), James Cameron is at work on Avatar sequels, and the entire Star Wars saga is being formatted for 3D release. Even German auteur Werner Herzog jumped on the bandwagon with Cave of Forgotten Dreams, a 3D documentary.
