I bought a new TV, and saw that there was a slight duplicate shadow on each one of my local stations. (My cable company foolishly retransmits all local VHF stations on the identical channel -- does ANYone else do that?) I decided that it was something I would have to live with, or perhaps I would complain one day to my cable company. I then noticed: - If I used my VCR's tuner, there was no shadow - If I totally eliminated the VCR from the circuit, there was no shadow from my TV's tuner. I then replaced my rather nice-looking 75ohm cable (I got it with my VCR; it has quick-disconnect F-connectors) with another shoddy-looking one that my cable company had given me, and voila', the problem disappeared!! Just goes to show... Jim Heliotis {allegra,seismo}!rochester!ritcv!jeh rocksvax!ritcv!jeh ritcv!jeh@Rochester
