I was in the hospital in march of 2003, in the ICU, but I was alert...
I had a tv that when "OFF" at night I could STILL see program reception.
I thought I was NUTS for a while....

Couldn't SAY anything about it, I was intubated and on a ventilator..
Just imagine trying to get THAT across using charades or on a written note....

Until I finally got a remote in my hands and started turning the thing on and off and actually following program content after my eyes adjusted to the dark... on programs I had never seen before, switching across cable channels.

Turns out off really wasn't zero power. leakage?? circuitry??? hv shutdown??

It's not ghosting as in the rest of the thread, so sorry for the hijack.
