I am new to this too. That's why I am asking so many questions. I have restored a number of TVs before I joined but I made a lot of guesses and I googled a lot.

Yeah, I remember as a kid back in the 1980's seeing TVs do this all the time. But I seem to remember my parent's TV collapsed into a line that got smaller.

I've got flat panel TVs that take longer to boot up than instant-on CRTs of years past.

I know those HBO bumpers. Yeah, I have some slow flat-panel TVs, I have often wondered if they had broken when waiting for them to boot.
