Audio track isn't interrupted but video track either blacks out or "blinks". Any chance this could be a satellite receiver issue or is it possibly time to put to retire the CRT ?
Putting an HDTV in it's place is not exactly a terrible idea.
Follow Ups:
It could be several things but why not eliminate the satellite receiver by trying it with just a DVD player and/or over-the-air broadcasting.
No HT rig attached to this CRT, just a Coax feed. I'll doublecheck the connections but it looks like I'm in the market for a new HDTV; except than I'd need a new HD satellite receiver to take full advantage.
It's current location is a built-in(to the house) cabinet w/ pullout TV shelf. It's gonna look kinda funny shoehorning in a replacement 16x9 flat panel.
If you have a sort of contraction of the picture, where it shrinks in size, then pops back to normal (often accompanied by a sort of pop), then this is likely to be a CRT power supply issue- meaning the CRT is close to death. If the picture just disappears, maybe it is somewhere before the CRT itself.
When you state the audio track is not affected you are referring to the satellite audio as directed to an AVR/preamp/int. amp, correct? Your TV is not handling the audio, in other words. If this is the case, then what you are more than likely experiencing is the beginning of the end of your power supply in the TV.
My old Toshiba 36" Cinema Series CRT vintage 1995 was exhibiting the same symptoms this spring. Reached the point that in order to power back up had to pull the power cord and give her the old hard "boot" just like the PC. Didn't wait for her to expire, moved her to the bedroom and PU up a Mits 1080P LCD front projector w/80" pull down screen approx. $3K retail for package!! Toshiba CRT w/stand cost me $2800 in 1996...
Cost to replace power supply board depends on your TV but is not inexpensive, definitely sounds like time to go HD.
Could be any of a number of things. Poor cable connection somewhere, CRT issue, receiver, etc. Best thing to do is to eliminate the problem. Grab a small TV and put it in the same place with the same receiver/wiring etc. If the replacement works fine, double check by trying your main rig in a different room with all different cables, etc. If the main TV still fails it's gotta be the culprit.
How old is the TV? Size? In other words, is it worth fixing?
