Hi B,

Thanks for replying!

Well, with the cables arranged as I said, the picture is exceptionally
poor on freeview. Normal terrestrial channels are ok, not great but
watchable. When playing a pre-recodrded disc in the DVDR, the picture
is perfect. I'm not sure about the VCR because at the moment its not
working properly anyway. When I play videos the picture 'slips'. Thats
why I was considering a new TV. Its only just occurred to me, but might
this be why I cant get things to work?

Looking forward to your reply.

Floss.
