Thanks,
Not sure if I will be able to return the TV but a new one may be in
order as it is only a 14inch set anyway.

If the breakers an RCD one, then often the leakage from the crap
powersupplies in TVs will trip things when you join the chassis to
somethign
that is earthed.
Measure the current you get from the chassis of the TV (outside of the
RF
plug or one of the RCA plugs for the AV in to earth and see how many mA
it
is - if its getting near 5mA then it will easily trip most RCD's - even
the
higher rated ones.
If this is the case and the TV is new, return it as its faulty ;)
