All of a sudden my TV has started cycling through the channels one by one every second or so! When the set is first switched on after a period of inactivity everything is fine, the channels can be changed via the hand set or the switches on the set itself. But after a few minutes the channel cycling begins, usually starting in one direction which then switches to the other direction after around 10 channels or so. If i just leave the channels to cycle on their own accord they go down for around ten channels then back up to 99 through to about channel 10 at which point the damn thing starts to slowly cycle through AV channels! The cycling can be interrupted by pressing a channel on the hand set but not by pressing any switches on the TV (except for the on/off).
To be able to watch any one channel for longer periods than a second, that channel must be continuously depressed for the duration.
A bit of history: I dont know if any of this is relevant but the TV was at my x`s place where she broke it. She kept losing the remote and having to use the buttons on the front of the set she pushed them through into the body! Something, usually a pen, had to be shoved into the button hole to depress the switches for changing channels, volume etc, and she eventually broke the switches causing some kind of short meaning that nothing could be changed on the TV without the remote!
Upon saving the TV from her evil clutches i took it apart and replaced the broken switches with good salvaged ones and since then, and until recently, the TV worked fine.

ANY HELP WOULD BE MOST GRACIOUSLY AND THANKFULLY RECEIVED!
