Just a nice picture of an old TV

[Carmine]

I might be the one person here who doesn't have cable TV. My reasoning is kind of a viscious circle... Having cable TV would mean I'd probably sit on my a$$ all day watching Monster Garage and History Channel. But if I only watched TV as much as I do now, I'd be pi$$ed about blowing $50 a month on cable. I suppose one benefit of infrequent TV use (beyond never having seen any "reality" shows) is being able to use a tube set as a daily watcher.

In the Detoit area, we get a couple stations from Canada (actually only one, since the other is in French!). Thus Channel 9 becomes my exotic cable channel. (Note the CBC logo in the bottom right corner) The other day noticed this kids show with computer animated tractors from England. The colors looked amazing on this old Zenith that Doug gave me, so I decided to snap a digital picture (of course they look less amazing now than in person). Funny to think that this set went from Chicago to Detroit, Detroit to Chicago, then back to Detroit.

One problem that concerns me with this set is a fear that HV might be too high. The picture is always too big for the screen (won't reduce enough with size controls) and it will bloom if I advance the brightness to far, or sometimes if a bright graphic is displayed (I can even hear the thing crackle). Is there anyway to properly adjust the HV without a HV probe?
