I recently bought a large CRT Philips tv from eBay for next to nothing.

Attached to it is a Sky box, a VCR, and a Philips home cinema. I sometimes
have an aerial feed from a new Freeview aerial going to the back of the tv
in case of Sky outages, but that's hardly ever plugged in as it causes
ghosting. I should say that everything which is plugged into the Philips tv
was plugged into the previous tv which didn't have the following problem:

When I got the tv to search for terrestrial channels, and then left the
menu, the picture from the Sky box was perfectly clear, but after a while
(didn't notice what set it off - being switched off perhaps?) the picture
went very grainy. If I get the tv to search for channels again, even for
just a few seconds, then quit out of the menu, I need to press the AV button
to get the Sky picture up. When I do this there is a small 'doing!' from the
tv and the perfectly clear picture appears.

Wossat then?

Knackered.

Probably why it was cheap and on eBay.

Blimey, I wasn't expecting that answer.

It's not *that* grainy, especially from a distance, just noticeable when you
get close to it.

Still, thanks for sparing your precious time.

Any time. Glad we sorted it.
