I have a strange problem with my SKY+/Samsung 37A656 LCD TV and I can't work out whether its the TV or SKY.
I'm watching SKY+ (both recorded and live) via scart with RGB enabled on SKY+ and I'm seeing what looks like an interference line (varying widths, couple of mm to an inch, and varying locations) going straight across the picture.
I thought only certain programmes/channels showed the problem but I'm not so sure now. The only channel that seems to consistently ish show it is 370 (channel U, a music channel). Other channels/programmes show it in different locations, but is never as bad as 370.
I have tried 3 different scart leads, and a spare SKY+ box and channel 370 almost always has this line. I then disabled RGB in the SKY+ menu and hey presto, line gone in all cases.
I also tried using SKY+ with an older Samsung LCD and it DIDN'T show the line. However, when I posted the question in the Samsung A656 forum they suggested it was an interference problem not a TV problem, but the more I see the issue the less I agree! The signal/quality strength is good.
To me, its almost as if certain picture conditions the TV can't quite cope with and when it happens the 'interference' appears, but in the case of 370 its always the right condition so is always there.
Any thoughts?
