Well I've determined that it's not the power (I think) by using an
extension cord from downstairs (it's on a separate ring) and the
problem's still the same. As for the overloading issue, I've been
running all this for about 5 years from that socket lol, so it's
probably not that. Running from that single socket is: TV, Computer,
Monitor, 2 Stereos, Lamp, DVD Player, PS2, Phone Charger, iPod Charger,
Guitar Amplifier. Rarely if not never, used all at once though. I think
the TV's just broken, as it's quite old (1998 ish?) Only way to stop it
losing picture is to turn the brightness right down, making the picture
almost unwatchable in some situations. I'm guessing it's either not
fixable, or would be rather expensive. Should I just junk it and get a
new one? (Not that I can afford that right now, probably gonna get a
plasma/lcd when I get a new TV.
