Me too!!!
I have the exact issue you have or had. This week I thought my 4 year old Sharp 32 inch LCD died. So, I bought a new Sony 32bx420 today. Well, I programmed the Sony to pick up the OTA channels and used the remote to change channels. All went well until I hit 25.1 (a fact I did not realize was connected to 25.1 until calling Sony). What happened with both TV's was That the units froze on 25.1; the remote and physical buttons on the TV failed to respond to my touch. In fact, the only way to power off the TV was to unplug it.
Anyhow, detaching the antenna temporarily fixed the issue on the Sony, at least until you go to 25.1 again. And, Sony support says this issue started a few months ago affecting their TVs of all types.
When I Googled the issue, I saw your post here. Then, I made the full connection in my mind and went to my old Sharp which all efforts had failed to revive. Well, all I did this time was detach the antenna, turn on the TV, switch from 25.1 to another channel, and voila -- like Lazarus, the TV sprang to life.
So, your experience has helped me. Meanwhile, any resolution on your end?
BTW a few others online report the issue with various brands of TV in San Diego and Colorado.
