To take the proverbial stab in the dark ! I would look at the tube base board and check for dry soldered joints , see if you can see a glow in the tube neck. look carefully pref in the dark as it could be difficult to see !!.
On the other hand if your TV is not a CRT type forget everything I said ! Its back to the drawing board !!!! Cheers Pete.\
PS. Ok then what the hell is a cable tube, is it in the same cct as the old fashioned clacker valve ?

Sounds to me like the cable tube is blown, same thing happened to me last year. It is hard to replace unless you have alot of electronic experience and a mechanic costs alot of money. So your best bet is to buy another TV.
