Re: cable guy not in house, went to outside plug
Sounding ominous: fine-tooth comb - ya sure there is no RESET button anywhere?
With all electronic switching (as you know) one lousy bit can keep all the guns turned to nada; surely the computer could be in a funk. Maybe unplug IS the reset, and no doubt you've tried that.
Hate 'coincidences' - but no-video can come from so much now, besides actual video circitry, it's looking like scope time (and owners manual won't tell you shit about the schematic..)
Guess you've had a DVD signal in and cycled-blind the inputs.
(Trouble is - &^$&$ CPU - you may just Think you cycled those - 'cept if you hear the DVD's sound, well :(
Arrrggghhhh - when I think about all the micro crap in my car
See What Youse Guys Have Done to us all ?!
Luck, condolences

Sorry to hear that
Hope you can see the Super Bowl somewhere else if it isn't fixed, (and if that's something you care about).
Did you ever find the receipt? Just curious.

TV repair business
my father almost went into it. Found a shop that charged for repair work, the guy doing the repairs charged a lot and often put in parts that didn't need to be replaced in addition to ones that did. Sort of like an Automotive Garage that finds all you need is an air filter, but says you got to replace the carborator and the air filter. So my father decided to go to the phone company instead and went and installed computers used with the phone system.
I am sure that with your honest reputation, that you can get more business than a crooked TV repair shop. The only trick is getting the word out to people that you exist.
I doubt that repairs on electronics will be outsourced to India, takes too long to ship things out there. If it is needed to be done on-site or on the bench, you need someone local to do that.
I hope the shop doing the repairs is not crooked. I hope they give you a reasonable price. Good luck.

Debateable
some parts may not be covered under warranty. I've been burned on that before. Also some parts are replaced free, but the labor to do so is not free. Depends on the warranty and who does the warranty repairs. Remember that Crooked TV repair shop I talked about? Charged for warranty work.
