I wonder if anyone on here has knowledge of the technicalities of modern TVs?
We have a Sony Bravia and the TV guide menu on it is one where you can select an upcoming program and press a button to select it, and when it starts the TV automatically turns over to it.
Or it did.
That worked very well, up until January 1st from when it has simply said "this data event is invalid" and it just won't set a turnover; we now have to manually change channels every time we want a different one.
Any ideas why?
Is it possible that my wife - an inverterate random button pusher when she has a remote in her hand - could have somehow disabled the function?
Or, given that it was January 1st when it stopped working... please don't tell me that some of these TVs were only programmed to work that function up until the end of 2020...?!
