Honestly man? Go to Best Buy or something and grab one of those power timers. Plug the TV into the timer, and the timer to the wall...and set the time of day it will shut off. Works wonders.




holy ****! never thought of that!



and we did buy the warrenty, the extended... but that only covers 1 bulb replacement after that, i really dont feel like forking out $260 per bulb

So you ARE in the same boat as my friend. Check your owners manual to see if it's got a built in timer. If not, they shouldn't be but a few bucks at Wally World or Best *****.

maybe your wife can hit the sleep timer once she turns the tv on, this way it will always shut itself off eventually

hit her in the head with a hammer, or stop letting her sniff cocaine while watching tv.



honestly i might leave the tv on once a year, but even then im normally sleeping on the couch with the remote in my hand.



how do you constantly, to the point of being complained at, forget to turn off a tv?

Well, if you're like my brother...you're just too fat to get up or press a button on the remote control...he'd get out of breath trying to do either I bet!
