Why is Analogue Reception so Bad on Sony Bravia?
 

Hi all

In fault finding another issue with reception at the weekend, I discovered
that my Sony Bravia makes next to no effort to display analogue TV.
Intermittent fuzzy indistinguishable picture and noise is all when the
analogue option is selected.
This is compared to a portable (cheap and cheerful item) connected
in-place-of the Sony i.e. connected to the same aerial via the same wall
point and fly lead. This gives very clear and stable picture and sound.
I know with the intended switch over, this is not of any long term
significance, but why include the analogue facility at all if it is so
poorly implemented - or am I missing something here?

on my 6 yo Sharp I need to look the aerial signal from the DTV side into
the analogue tuner with an external lead. Perhaps your portable has the
link internally.

My Bravia works fine on analogue transmissions (though I never watch them,
I've just tried it now). I wonder if it is tuned incorrectly.

So many sins can be hidden on small portable televisions on account of
the screen size. Your aerial signal could still be deficient enough in
analogue to put the Bravia's picture processing (noise reduction, line
scaling and transient improvements etc...) into overdrive, and make
things look worse.

What model is this creature?

Strange! My Sony Bravia shows analogue OK. However I have cable TV.

Even today, things do fail. It could have a fault somewhere in the
'analogue works'.

It sounds like something is bust in the analogue tuner section.

My Bravia 40" works fine on analogue - tunes in all channels etc.
Picture quality is pretty ropey by the time it's scaled up to the panel
though.

What's it perform like on Freeview?

Have you put it on analogue and then rescanned the tuning?

As strange as this may sound. Have a look at the aerial connection.
You might find that the socket on the telly is wide and the aerial
Cable plug inner is small. On the protable it might be a small
socket connection. So there is a direct connection to the inner on the
small portable and connector but a gap on the larger Sony. The
analogue will be grainy but the digital picture can still be perfect.
(capacitively connected). I had that on a friends TV. I had to
squeeze the TV's aerial connection together to get a good picture.
Then analogue was perfect.

I don't suppose this is one of those sets with two aerial sockets is
it, one for digi and one for analogue?

That is a clever way of solving the "is electromagnetic radiation a
stream of particle (photon) or electromagnetic wave" conundrum.
