It has been a few years now that i had tv problem myself. I do not know why you would have a new tv act this way. Did you buy your tv from a store or pawn shop. If your tv is new go back to the store and see if they can give you a new one. If your tv came from a pawn shop, see if they could give you another one. Do you have cable or dish to hook up your tv? Do you have a vcr, if you have maybe you not hook up everything right. Ask a friend to help you. Give me more info.
