RE: CRT TV starting to randomly blackout.

When you state the audio track is not affected you are referring to the satellite audio as directed to an AVR/preamp/int. amp, correct? Your TV is not handling the audio, in other words. If this is the case, then what you are more than likely experiencing is the beginning of the end of your power supply in the TV.

My old Toshiba 36" Cinema Series CRT vintage 1995 was exhibiting the same symptoms this spring. Reached the point that in order to power back up had to pull the power cord and give her the old hard "boot" just like the PC. Didn't wait for her to expire, moved her to the bedroom and PU up a Mits 1080P LCD front projector w/80" pull down screen approx. $3K retail for package!! Toshiba CRT w/stand cost me $2800 in 1996...

Cost to replace power supply board depends on your TV but is not inexpensive, definitely sounds like time to go HD.
