One thing it could be is the lead that connects your sky box to the tv. Honestly, you'd be amazed the difference a decent lead makes. I'd suggest going to an electrical store and asking one of the staff what the best one would be for your TV.
Reply:I agree that the picture quailty is inferior, but it is nice to have a monitor input in the back.
Reply:with the amount of repeats on TV , i go for anything that is cheap to watch them on.
Reply:LCDs are not supposed to show how a 15 year old tv is supposed to look like.
Reply:Plasma knocks the socks off LCD whose weaknesses are exagerated the larger the screen gets.





LCD is generally cheaper which has helped it become more popular. If the price difference was reveresed LCD would be nowhere in the large screen tv stakes.





It keeps improving all the time though.
Reply:Yes not as good as CRT but after a month or 2 you wont notice. Just takes time to get used to them as they are different.
Reply:Don't get me started!


LCD/Plasma makes no difference.


DIGITAL TV is inferior to analogue.


(But so many more channels, even if it does take 2 seconds to change between them)
Reply:Hi NO..........


Old one is very simple having no extra feature ,based on old technology and large circuit but now technology has been changed so that circuit has been compact and more attractive.

Reply:You're so used to the 15 year old set, you forgot how good a new set looks....





SET the color, brightness, tint, sharpness to halfway....





Set your Contrast to Full.....


That will get you set for Best Picture....





Now, you really need to look at a Hi Definition TV picture to appreciate your LCD...


Low Def Cable or Satellite won't get you excited about it....


Do the research on your best deal, and work towards getting Hi Def stations....





Dish Network is best in Satellite, unless you already own it...the UPGRADE price for it is $100 AFTER REBATE...


I hate rebates....





But it still is the best package...





Verizon Fios TV....now that's a good price if you buy all 3 with HD....and it's better than Cable.


But it's not yet available to the whole USA...





Believe me, I have had ALL 4 services....Cable, then Direct TV , THEN DISH (loved it, hated the upgrade costs) THEN FINALLY Verizon TV....(love it, but hate the fact that THEY control what is on their network, not me)


But....it's NEW, it has everything I want or need....


But I still like DISH....





Oops, FORGOT....you are in the UK.


So, you have Skybox right? Anybody else competing with SkyBox? DISH perhaps? They're BIG, they should be in the UK I'm sure....


I wonder if Verizon is in the UK.... They're Big too.
