While all of the discussion about the antenna and associated amplifier is interesting, none of that will control the on/off functions of a television, it only enhances or degrades the signal getting to the set.
But if I hook the TV to cable in the house and leave it there all day it never turns off so it's not the TV.
So the problem to me is something is interrupting the signal to the main TV when other things are running. Also turning on the coffee pot will kick it off too.
I even plugged a surge protector in to see what happens and it's still the same.
I'm going to swap the cable cord today and see if that makes a difference.
Also here's another thing that I didn't know. D says that this happpens more during the day then at night.
