So picked up the Toshiba from Waitrose yesterday afternoon.
Needed its stand fixing but got everything in place reasonably quickly. Set up OK except that it seemed over keen on me using the WPS function on my router rather than letting it discover the wi-fi and input the code.
Used it for a bit last night including watching the stuff about Dad's Army including Jonesy's wedding - all good.
Then tried to switch the input to the HDMI connection from the DVD player to take in an episode of Rumpole.
No go; not responding to the remote. Unlike my old telly there are next to no manual controls, just a rudimentary multifunction toggle on the rear. Won't respond to that either. Only way to stop it was via the plug.
I'd been on wine/beer last night and though maybe I'd fumbled something. Two further sessions today confirm that once it's been on for 30 minutes or so it freezes on whatever channel has been selected.
So tomorrow it's off back to JLP. Offer of 19" SD Sharp free to a good home temporarily withdrawn. I think I'll get a refund and return to headscratch mode for a day or two.
