Own a Sony TV and it wont work today??

Gidday fellow Sony TV owners... just sat down to watch a Mr 4x4 DVD over lunch and the bloody TV wont work.

Can't get through to Sony help so I call the local BNE service centre... he's getting hammered with phone calls because ch10 have done something to a broadcast signal that's freezing TV's due to all this frequency reshuffling that's going on now that the analogue signal has been switched off here in Brisbane.

If it turns it's self off and the standby light flashes 8 times then...

... apparently the fix is to pull the power AND the aerial from the wall for 10 mins and then it should reset... and stay off ch 10 for a while as well
Yet to see if it works but sounds like its a wide spread problem ATM...

Cheers,
Leon
