I just submitted my own horror story with the DT250, with the exception that According to Sony top echelon of tech help (given to me by my local repair co.who wanted Sony to confirm his opinion:) Apex DT250 apparently placed some software into my perfectly functioning Sony from a time when manufacturers took pride in their products.

In my case, an accidental touch of the CCD button on the remote, which is placed among the tuning buttons turned on the teletext, of which I had never heard previously, and it has been running 24/7 right across the screen for weeks now, with no way to remove it. Have tried Apex cust svc till running thru all of their misleading statements.

Apparently, this digital changeover had turned our tv sets into "read only" computers with no control over "pop-ups from hell" which continue unabated until the consumer gives up and replaces it, hopefully, purchasing a service such as cable or satellite. NOT! So sick of reruns running mid season anyway! Folks, Do you know that your public library has free DVDS in inventory sizes depending on the size of your locale POR NADA!

I heartily agree that what we need is a class action suit to compensate us. In my case for a tv set for the one they have destroyed. Also, let this be a warning to others about to purchase, or are just being annoyed by malfunction. THIS UNIT COULD DESTROY YOUR TV SET1
