hi, thanks for the info on here, been a great help setting up and tweaking my Samsung set

Hope someone can help, I've got a slight "funny" with my freeview PVR (Daewoo 160G Freeview) and my set - whenever there's mainly white on the screen the image distorts as:

as soon as the image changes to something non-white it's fine. I dont have this problem with my anything else (PS3 on hdmi, Xbox360 on hdtv component, NTL-box on av2, built in tv & DTV) just the freeview on av1 (still get the problem with it on av2). This happens whether I'm watching tv live or a recording.

I didn't have this problem with my old crt set, so dont think there's anything wrong with the pvr - but due to no problems with anything else, I'm assuming the tv isn't to blame. Any ideas?

I think the "as bought" firmware was 1.16 and now upgraded it to 1.20, but still have the problem. (btw - anyone with problems getting the set to upgrade try a different usb-stick. Originally was using a cheapo usb1 stick and the tv just wouldn't see it but worked straight away with my newer 2g usb2 stick).

i know it's only a freeview PVR, so not the end of the world, but it's handy from time to time.
