Yeah, the former, can't afford a plasma. It only happens when I play the
dvd player and it comes and goes.
I'm assuming it is somehow a sign the player is going out and I'm going
to try a different machine on the tv. I'm also wondering if it could be
the connection and if I change the connection to the front input it
might go away. Very weird
