I have a new problem with a troubled Samsung HL-R4266 W HDTV purchased a month ago. When watching a program, any program through my digital cable box the picture will "freeze" and remain frozen until I change the channel and change it back using the cable box. This happens frequently and at random intervals and usually with standard ( non HDTV) cable stations. It also happens with HDTV channels but with less frequency and will sometimes un-freeze after a few seconds.
Anyone out there ever experience this? Or know how to remedy it short of calling the very oxy-moronicly named Samsung Customer Service for a warranty fix that has been a very bad experience for me with the first serious problem I had with this so called state of the art television set.
I've had similar issues mostly with HD Channels It's happpened on both my Sammsung DLP and my Panasonic Plasma both conected to Comcast digital boxes. It appears to be more of a cable problem than set issue. It usually only lasts a few seconds, but has lasted several minutes.
It turns out that the problem is with my cable box. One of those that automatically records as well as sends the signal to the TV. It's a pretty nice system which acts in a similar way as a TiVo too, but it does have some bugs. The problem I had was one of those bugs. I solve it by every once in while unplugging the cable box and letting it re-set.
