Tried a different HDMI to AV converter ... and it acts the same way. I am thinking that it is something going off-spec in the TV, as the old converter DID work OK (occasional "jumps" but not like now) and over the past few months it suddenly got worse.
For now running the video input "backwards" (with the black level and contrast turned way down) works OK -- only jumpy on really bright video, and the TV itself using a VCR, DVD or even a DTV converter box gives a solid stable picture.
The only reason I don't run a DTV converter all the time is that I am too lazy to run an antenna wire to the room, and those inside antennas are terrible.
Why do I keep the TV? Not really sure. My wife and I got it as a wedding gift to ourselves when we got engaged back in 1990. Still has a beautiful picture. Absolutely not practical to keep ...
