Have to turn tv on and off to get picture

I have an old Samsung TXE 2746 and this week, when I turn the tv on, the picture is fuzzy and it seems like it's not connecting to the cable. I have to turn the tv on and off repeatedly before the station comes in.

Timing crystals can turn to trash on you, if not their tuning circuits. Try subbing in a new crystal or resettable oscillator to see if it perks right up as far as tuning. There's usually a few electrolytes (.5 uf timing drift capacitors) around there to test at frequency or swap out at little cost if that fails.

Just bought the Samsung 550 Plasma Hd Tv can you tell me if we just use a regular cable from the wall to the Tv will the picture quality be sort of off.. WE have an HM MI cable from the cable box to the TV...

unfortunately cable does not give you the best quality picture and "fuzziness ' is the reduced resolution being displayed on the tv.
the easy way to check the picture quality is to get a decent hd antenna and scan using it for free hdtv signals, if these are also fuzzy, on all channels then the tv has a problem but if it is only on a few lower resolution channels then its just the way it is until everyone is hd 720 or better.

Picture goes off after a while

Call 1-800-Samsung to set up a warranty service call. They will repair it in your home if they send a Samsung Field Engineer. You probably have a bad Main bd.

The front inputs aren't viewed on a "channel". You would have to press the "Source", "input", or "TV/Video" button to access the front input. On rare occasion you can press 00 on the remote to get there or go to channel 1 and press "channel down" but not always.
