On analog cable, the set comes on with good audio but there is no
picture, just a bunch of thin vertical colored lines which change and
are sort of "modulated" horizontally in density and color by the video
information. The entire display also seems to exhibit the illusion of
moving vertically at the same time. Not a vertical roll though. The
best way to describe what I'm seeing is if you imagine your're riding
in a vehicle that has an open floor so that you can see the road. The
"lines" breathe horizontally while the road rushes by under you. Very
weird. Has anyone seen this symptom on this set which I'm describing?
Thanks, Lenny
If I were you I would throw a bowling ball through it and forget about
T.V.
all together. In 2000, I had a bad day at work. So I got home and saw
the
T.V. was tuned to MTV. So I went upstairs, got a bowling ball, and
threw it
through the screen and broke it. Then I took the bowling ball and
threw it
at the cabinet, and broke that and finished off the circuit board with
it. I
threw the T.V. pieces in the trash. My 27 inch T.V. was 6 inches tall
when I
was done with it, no higher than the speakers. I have not watched a
minute
of television since (unless it was in a resturant or at work) and
don't miss
it. I don't miss Judge Shyster or some jagoff pretending to be a
doctor. Nor
do
I miss the same 9 movies and same 50 tv shows ran ad nauseum. I
canceled cable, and when they asked me why I want to cancel cable I
told
them I had not receive another bill from them and hung up the fone.
They did
call me one day and asked if I would like to reactivate my cable
subscription so I put the fone next to my ass and cut the loudest fart
they
have ever heard.
I half way through eating a gallon of Anderson's French Vanilla ice
cream
when the doorbell rang so I opened the door and it was these young
kids and
they were offering me satellite T.V. service. It was the combo or
bundle
(you know fone, t.v. and internet rip off). I told them, "Let me get
my
checkbook" and I shut the door. I took a shit in my hand, opened the
door,
and threw the turd at them and told them that if they ever came back
to my
house, I would kick there asses.
With the money I am not spending on cable T.V., I can spend it on
things I
truly enjoy. I have bought a bunch of oreos and twinkies and used them
to
fill up the void of space once left by my 27 incvh T.V.
Needless to say. I no longer work for my former employer. I now own an
ISP and have made enough money to buy a 2 story home, several cars and
I have 24 hour a day cooks to whip up my favorite dish any time I ask.
