I'm not sure that this is the correct forum for this but I am hoping someone can advise me.
My mum has a Sharp Widescreen TV - no satellite or freeview as yet - however she is experiencing some problems which we have always put down to reception difficulties as she lives in a block of flats.
Although the picture is fair-ish and watchable, she gets what I can only call 'scribble' across the screen. Thin purple lines zigzagging from one side to the other. We did think it might be a reception issue however having played several pre recorded videotapes and had the same thing occur with them it looks less likely. Also she runs a small portable off the same ariel with none of these problems.
Before we go mad and call out a repair man, does anyone have any suggestions as to what this problem might be. If it's a 'fatal' problem then at least we can be braced for impact.
