Supposed to be a very good set.

Take it back if you are not happy, or contact consumer affairs.

Answer 2

I am sorry to say that it is because you are watching standard definition (SD) content on an HDTV. Some programmes will be better than others depending on how much bandwidth a channel has for a particular programme. You will find that your tv is a good one for SD but your old CRT tvs are better for SD. It's up to you what you do but I would consider perhaps getting Freesat. It costs around £100 for the dish and box but at least you get BBC HD, ITV HD and soon Channel 4 HD.

Connecting a freeview box shouldn't help any more than the built in one but it may be worth trying, in case there is a dodgy connection internally. I doubt it though. If you do that though make sure you have it connected via RGB scart.

Hope that helps!

Check your power to the TV. If it is too low or noisy it will cause problems.
