In the past two days, we have had about 20 calls complaining of missing sound or staticy sound on RCA TVs. often the customer reports that a few channels have sound. We had a rash of this a few years ago except the reports were more like no audio at all. Unplugging the set for a few minutes would fix the problem. Again, removing power seems to fix the situation. We have been told that there are one or maore stations broadcasting some kind of data which causes the TV to get all confused in its little electronic brain. I have heard that the problem is in the V-chip circuitry but also heard that it may be Guide-Plus or the SAP which is affected.
