olollolstr8!

how many picture tubes have you replaced?

the antenna is located on the roof?

Only replaced the CRT once... And only because the kid I bought the TV from, had busted it while trying to move the TV through a doorway too narrow (the CRT neck sticks out about a foot in back on these old sets).

It's connected to DirecTV, with the dish on the roof.

In all fairness, I'm a former TV repairman, so that's the reason it's working fine. It's a hobby. But I don't use any flat screen TVs. I still use all CRT. I just don't think the picture is as good on any LCD, LED, or plasma. I have a Sony plasma set, but it's unplugged and behind the couch. I got it a few months ago (used), and hated it after watching it 10 minutes.

The picture on the tv you posted doesn't look that great. You should fix the big grey line going through the middle of it.

LOL

I knew somebody'd say that... It's a camera anomaly that you need a special setting on the camera to avoid, and I don't know if possible/how to do it on mine.

I didn't want to be a tech-nerd and explain it up front, but here goes, LOL : The technical explanation is that it's caused by the camera catching the TV screen between fields of interlaced scanning, which the human eye can't pick up. On a standard definition NTSC interlaced scan TV set, the TV makes 30 new pictures (frames) per second, and there is a blank space between those frames, called the vertical interval. So there is only a microsecond where you could snap a picture with a full scan in place on the screen, and that's nearly impossible to do by hand.

This is why in movies and on TV shows, when you see a TV set in the scene, it has a fake picture on it. They can't do it with a real picture because there would be two black or gray bars flickering upward constantly through the picture as the camera tube or ccd would be running out-of-phase with the TV set on the stage.
