You do as I've suggested a number of times during the last week and in this thread and elsewhere. See http://windycroft.gt-britain.co.uk/TV_Setup.txt I used News 24 studio shots as an initial source and then 'tweaked' on a number of other 'live' sources plus 'Bleak House'. It took about two days of intermittent 'tweaking' to set up my Sony Bravia KDL-V32A12U to my satisfaction.
