"Yes. The brain is analagous to a TV receiver. Cut the current and it stops receiving"

Very poor analogy. The brain uses glucose to create its own firing of neurons in parallel waves which we understand as thought. The only way the brain receives outside information is through chemical receptors and chemical messengers. It is incredibly more complex than a simple receiver.

I don't know what you are trying to say. Thoughts are simply the processing of information. When the brain dies, so does thought.
