    Panasonic plasma TV black screen
    Hi.

    I have a Panasonic plasma TV with a satellite dish. The TV screen randomly goes black and remains that way for 10mins-4 hours, then comes back on. The frequency of these "outtages" is increasing. While screen is black, I can play DVDs fine, but screen is black when I go back to satellite input. I thought maybe the wire connecting to the satellite signal was faulty, but a different TV connected via the same wire never blacks out.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    A black screen is most indicative of a signal that is not strong enough to generate an image.

    The first step I would take is to have the Satellite company come out and re-calibrate the dish.

    This is really in the wrong forum and I will asked that it be moved to the Electronics forum.
