Default TV buzzes with overly white video

In the past few months I've been getting a loud buzz at certain

instances
when there's some overly white video. *Picture flops around a bit

too.

It's directly on analog cable and I don't doubt that Comcast may
occasionally have signal levels that are out of spec but it

doesn't seem to
bother other sets in the house including one that is a similar

Sony, maybe
a few years older even. *So I'm wondering if something is out of

whack on
the TV. *Is there a solution (besides the eventual upgrade to

digital HD
flat screen)?


Find the sound QUAD coil or discriminator coil and give it a little
tweak until the sound clears up.


Don't dick with the RF alignments. Someone already pointed out the AGC
is a strong culprit. If that doesn't do the trick, I'd want the whole
IF swept to find out what is _really_ going on.

If all your TVs buzz on a certain channel when there is heavy white

in
the screen, then call Comcast and thell them they are

overmodulating
the video.
