My TV won't turn on and it's almost time for American Idol!!?

I have 2 remotes that I use for my TV, one for my Comcast Cable and the other is an old remote that I only keep to adjust the time on my somewhat old VCR. While using the VCR remote to do just that, this "Video 1" message appeared at the top of my screen and would not go away. In fiddling around with the VCR remotes menu options, I managed to get rid of it, but then the menu that I used to do that would not go away. I had hoped that by just turning off the TV and the VCR, I could get rid of the menu option, but now my TV won't turn on! It is a Sony and it is stuck in "Standby/Timer" with a little red blinking light. No sound or anything. The VCR remote is a GE Universal Remote. Did I majorly screw up?

Wow, you must have ON/OFFed that TV to death to make it blink and only blink....





You probably killed the Horizontal output...





That would be the very FIRST thing I would look at if I saw the timer light blinking....
