TV problems... uverse has fried brand new tv

Need help!!! Ever sense we got uverse, our TV would take 20 minutes to get turned on, with clear picture. It grew increasingly worse, every morning. Took longer and longer static and lines on TV... We bought a brand new TV 2 days ago, and its happening on the new TV. Now even unplugged from everything and only plugged into wall, its now also fried!!!!!! Anyone ever have this problem??? Brand new $800.00 flat screen Sony bravita TV now, wasted!!!!???? Help!!!!!

Very unlikely that the U-verse would fry a TV or two.

 

I would more suspect HDMI problems could cause loss of picture.

 

Can you try TVs on any other source, such as over the air or DVD?

 

Sounds like you do not have another U-verse STB to swap with. At leat try the other one on the bad TV. You do not want to fry another TV with the suspect STB.

 

Can you try any connection other than HDMI with the two TVs?

I'd hook up some rabbit ears to see if the TV is really kaput.  If so, contact Sony.  It's got to have some sort of warranty.
