Why does My TV and DirecTV Receiver Turn Off And On Automatically?

Question

Ever since my sister and I hooked up the PS3 to the TV it has been acting real weird. All of a sudden the Satalite Receiver would turn on causing my PS3 to power off and the TV to turn blank. The PS3 is hooked through the VCR which then goes to the TV.

I know the PS3 works very well with HD TV's, this TV is VERY OLD, its in its 30's. Do you think that is the reason why it is acting up like this?

Answer 1

I think I see the problem. Because tv's have the colour cords, which are red, white and yellow, which plug into the tv, you can't have the ps3 and the VCR going at the same time on the one television. I would suggest unplug the colour cords usually located at the side of the tv and plug in the other colour cords. Put it this way, both the ps3 and the VCR have colour cords. And maybe the reason the ps3 turns off, is because you're running too much power on the same adapter. I could be wrong.

Hope this helps!
