I have a Toshiba 51h83. A couple of times I have found myself turning off the satellite receiver and not the tv because once the receiver is off the screen goes totally black making the tv look like it's off. So it has been on all night before. Since no signal was being sent to the CRTs, am I at risk for burn in?
