Maybe someone opened a beer can near by!  Sorry couldn't resist.

Does your TV have a sleep switch?  Sometimes I hit mine by accident, one hour
later zap it turns off.  I'm not saying you're hitting it by accident but maybe
your remote control is faulty and setting it off or maybe the sleep circuitry
is faulty.  My Sony has a sleep light on the front to say that it is on.  But,
something could be wrong with that too.  Ask Sony they are usually good at
selling schematics or giving tips.
