Sony Television.
Hi fellow Sony fans, in the past 2 or 3 days I have noticed 2 vertical narrow blue lines on either side of my screen while watching my usual programmes through my Sky HD box . Not evident on all stations but definitely on channel 4 and 5 , it also shows on stations like E4 , Fiver and so on . Any ideas guys . Thanks.
Hi,good one clare,lol.Hi what sony tv do you own?Make sure the auto format in your tv is set to off and set the sky hd box to auto,see how you get on with that.
Hi Clare, thanks for prompt reply . The lines do not show when viewing through my DVD recorder ( HDMI ) or through Scart . My television is the 46W5500 and apart the current annoying niggle it is an excellent television . If it is a broadcast issue do you have any further thoughts on that? Sonycentre suggested I set my Sky Box to auto , which I do on a regular basis anyway to try to get the best possible picture over 1080i . No difference to the naked eye in picture quality between Auto and 1080i . Thanks again to you both .

Two blue lines? It's pregnant - congratulations!
But seriously - this could be a broadcast issue, rather than a problem with your TV. Does it happen with any other sources other than your Sky box - eg Blu-ray player, DVD player?
