Title: Problems with either TV or Digiturk
Post by: simpsons on December 18, 2012, 09:26:26 AM
Hi, I wonder if anyone is having the same problems as me. I have bought a new flat screen tv, after upgrading from my old half ton one. The problem is I am connected to Digiturk, and sometimes whilst watching the screen will suddenly split in 2 with a vertical black line down the centre. It will either stay like this or re-adjust itself back to normal, this can go on all night or just once or twice. The picture also flickers whilst this is happening. I don’t think it’s the tv as it doesn’t happen all the time, and some nights not at all. I have watched dvds on the tv with no problems. Before I call out Digiturk and pay 20 lira, I just wonder if anyone else has had this problem.
Thanks.

Is it an LG tv? We had an LG tv and had exactly the same thing. Eventually the black strip down the middle stayed there. The repair cost was more than the tv, so we bought a new one.  When the old one was collected the man said he collects a lot of LG and another make (can't remember which) that have the same problem.
Hope it is digiturk, but I wouldn't rule out the tv being at fault.

Thanks for the reply. Just to update you, someone suggested changing the scart lead. I had a spare one, so on Thursday I replaced the lead and guess what....... no more problems.
