So I finally entered 2000 and bought a flat panel LCD TV. Nothing fancy, under the $700 budget limit. 42" LG 42L520. It's really my splurge for doing well in the market, and never paying myself from the businesses. Besides, it's almost World Cup!!
Picture is good. Need to get a HD cable box. DVD's are limited by the media (good sign). Digital cable channels very nice through the cable box. Jump the current cable box and all cable signals direct from incoming cable are nice, but no digital cable channels can be accessed without box.
Problem: Channels 2-99 are fuzzy (snowy) when using the cable box for tuning. Pretty much exactly the same as our old Sony CRT, which I assumed was shot. With the old TV, we set it to Channel 3 (vs 2 or 4) with cable box hooked up, as no other channels would work. New TV, I set to channel 3 as well.
What gives?
