:-)last night I sat there and timed the errant activity. It went away in just over 4 minutes.
The first time I noticed it, the "faint scrolling lines" hung in there, making me cry, for most of an entire episode of ER. Last night it was gone before the "West Wing" opening credits were over. So maybe it's some weird break in behavior? The thing's only been out of the box for a couple of weeks.
Right now I'm using standard old coax from the set-top box to the display's tuner (although the digital set-top does have a S-video output).
Component cable IS being used from the DVD to the tuner, and that is a new thing (formally S-video cable). But these "lines" do not appear when playing DVDs; only broadcast TV.
However if you dropped by the house I'm sure you'd find six or so things I've done wrong in terms of hook-up. And if not "wrong" (everything works), at least plugs n' patches that could be considered, uh, inelegant.
With any luck, what lasted an hour originally, then 15 minutes and most recently 5 minutes will go away completely. But more and more ('cause it doesn't happen with DVD, DVD-A or VHS inputs engaged) I'm convinced it's something to do with either the local cable signal and/or the way I've linked that signal into the system.
Thanks again, Joe.
