Hi,
I’m having problems with two CRT TVs. TV #1 is a Panasonic 27-inch purchased 10 years ago which has now developed a video issue. Video from either VHS or DVD is displayed crisp and smooth whereas video from digital satellite becomes grainy about a minute or so after connecting satellite cable in the TV’s back antenna input. The digital video source has no problem since my second, 11yrs old, 13-inch Panasonic TV displays the same digital video just perfectly.
The problem with this 13-inch TV is that a few seconds after powering it on, the color disappears and the sound comes and goes as it pleases. This happens with any video source fed to the device. What’s going on? Are these two problems too costly to fix?
Any light shed will be much appreciated.

I'd say your 13" is beyond repair, sounds like it has some major electronic issues.
Your 27" may just need a new antenna input, since it sounds like the AV inputs are fine. That, or you might try replacing the RF cvable between the sat box and the TV. Better yet, move your sat box away from the evil RF connection and go line-level!

Tie Guy,
I needed your advice and Matt's article to help me realize that my digital “cable” boxes have S-video outs, so I’m feeding the signal to my 27” through the S-Video port, which has no problem. Thank you very much sir. You save me big time, further frustration and some cash too.
