I get a shimmering or crawling effect with straight lines or narrow bars, only horizontal I think). Mainly on thin lines and red is the worst, but it occurs with other colors too. What is this? Something set too high, poor focus?

Taco,
What is your TV and what is your source? DVD? Satelite? VHS? Off Air antenna? I had a similar problem with my 8 year old Mutsubishi RPTV. I upgraded my S-Video cable and that helped a lot. Then I used Video Essentials and got rid of it all. There is another calibration DVD out there that may? be better than VE but I just can't think of the name of it right now. Give us more info and somebody ought to be able to help.

is this happening when a horizontal line is presented in the picture or as a constant effect on the screen no matter what is presented?Sam
Only when certain static lines/shapes are on the screen. Kind of like the effect you get when someone wears tight pattern clothes on normal TV and the lines all kind of crawl.
hummm. have you tried turning off the sharpness control on your TV? sometimes that can cause the effect.... otherwise it sounds like you might need to attenuate the signal to your TV??? not sure.Sam
The sharpness (VSM) is off, but I have not severed the circuit mechanically. Perhaps it is the boost on the signal. I've got a rat shack 30 dB amp on the antenna feed and it's pegged full gain. Can that actually harm the digital signal? Maybe I'll try backing it off a bit.
i was thinking of attenuating the signal from the decoder to the TV. You also might try the other suggestion of using an Avia or Video Essentials DVD to adjust the levels.... they could be set to high.Sam
