Dave is right... the digital tester is giving you a reading of the cap's value... but not while under a load. No load, or just a light load, you can easily end up with a reading that looks to be okay... when really, it isn't. With a vintage tester, you can test the cap under similar conditions that it would be in the TV chassis.
