Does anyone else have this particular thing going on? I just unplugged it cause it is so weird and frankly scary too. I am not a real "fear" person, but I tell you ...over the last months this TV has given me the real hebbie jeebies. Its the only appliance I have that seems to control itself somehow. No picture comes on but the tv definitely is clicking and I see a light come on at the power indicator.
Hi francie, we don't have a plasma TV but we do have an LCD one. Our terrestrial picture is rat-**** and the digital one pixelates and breaks up if there is a storm going on between the gubbinses that relay the signal. Apart from that, we experience nothing else to complain about except a large proportion of program content.

The one utensil that we do have that, like your TV, makes clicking noises when not switched on, is our electric kettle. It's one of those cordless jobs that sit on a disc connected to the power. Especially disconcerting when you are sitting home alone reading a ghost story. I tend to pop a CD into the player and wind the volume up. The first time it happened what little hair I have stood on end. Not a pretty sight.
