Tell my I'm not losing my mind.

I come home last night and the TV does not work. Check the decoder/all seems fine. Check the RF connected TVs/all seems fine. So I'm thinking either port on TV or cable or port on decoder. Switched cables out this morning.. still dead. Put a different TV onto the decoder.. still dead.

It this point I'm thinking it's the decoder that's busted. so I go fetch my HTPC and plug it into the original TV.. Boots up and shows picture (hooray) but after about a minute the TV is filled with vertical lines and nothing works further. Reboot it and get no signal.

At this point I'm really scratching my head, so I go fetch a raspi and plug it into the orginal TV. It works for a few minutes so I think all is good. Switch them off and walk to the pi... .and start smelling that tell-tale sign. My heart sinks. Put it back on and nothing.


So my conclusion is that my TV is killing my sources as all 3 devices that has been connected to it in the last 2 days are now dead. I'm scared to plug anything else into it.

Is this possible?!?!?
