i got a magnavox tv last year for xmas and it has shut off on its own a couple times

after it shut down i pressed the power button on the remote and the tube flashed and did nothing more.. looked like a burst from an old tv when they shut off

after pressing power again the tv comes on

last night the tv came back on and the screen was black showing the channel number and there was audio but no video

i quickly scrolled up and down and the other channels showed video

the funny thing is.. i think each time this has happened i was on channel 99

is this a short circuit or what?
it acts kinda like a short.. its scary cause the tv is right at the foot of the bed

i was also thinking that maybe the ground wire in the receptical was touching the earthed wire
but its split second interuption and im not an electrician

any ideas?
