Bush TV colour/pixellation problems

Sharon87

I came home this evening to watch my TV and I turned it on saw weird interference like very loose wobbly lines when I was on the Sky menu. I played an episode of an American TV show and it felt like I was watching it at really low quality resolution like I use to 10 years ago! The colours were all blurred together, as in they were blocky. It's what you expect from a 22 minute video that is 40 megabites.

I'm pretty sure it's not the sky box, as there seems to be interference on all channels.

I've tried turning the TV off then on a few times. So I've unplugged the TV for the night and I'll check it in the morning.

The TV is less than a years old, so still in Warranty if I can find my receipt!

Any advice is appreciated

How are you connecting your tv to sky box? I would suggest that the cable is either not inserted properly or has been pushed, knocked or bent. If it is a SCART lead can you check the pins are not bent in the plug. When was the tv picture last ok?

If the set is capable of receiving Freeview, try that and, if OK, then most likely it is something to do with the satellite receiver or its connecting cables.

Well it's not the Sky box, as it happens when trying to watch a DVD as well. It's definitely the TV. It does fix itself after you unplug for an hour, but it slowly comes back less than an hour of watching TV. Well it today anyway.

May have to phone the helpline in the manual either the techie one or the warranty one, as it's under a year's old.

Phoned the helpline, went through a few things, like turning it off and on again, straight from the plug without putting it on standby to see if it was a software problem or not. Turns out it's a hardware problem, so I'll need to find my proof of purchase, I don't have a receipt but do have my credit card statement, which he said will be fine. So will phone them up again to organise someone to come out. Which means no HD TV for a while, may need to put the 4:3 CRT TV on the stand if they take it away. How will I survive! lol
