You can still find good quality CRT TVs in the UK but anyone know of a source in Valencia?

better hurry up if you want old anlogue TVs in the UK....

The UK has taken another step towards the digital age after it was announced that none of the country's major retailers of electronics will now sell analogue televisions.
Most places are concentrating on flat screen these days...havnt seen CRTs in some stores for a while.
What sort size are you looking for?

in which case you probably have the widescreen settings not set up correctlly, and you have the TV or external device (ie sky box) still in 4:3 (normal tv) mode and not widescreen (16:9) mode.

On a sk y box services, 4, 1 change to 16:9 save, and you will get 1/4 more image - and people will start to look normal.

Could that be because Dawn French is in them?

And you have not got the settings wrong at all.
