OK, So I have an 11 year old 27" Sony tv, Model KV-27TS27, and my brother had the tuner replaced in it once already (it was his, then he got a new one and gave it to me.) Anyway, the problem I am having is,
I will turn it on, and start to watch a movie, and then like 5 minutes after the tv is on, all the color disappears, and it just goes to white static/snow, but the sides are drawn in, almost like someone was sqeezing the sides of the tv or something.

Now, when it does this, if I bump the tv, ot tap it slightly hard, it will go back to normal, but then it continues to do this perhaps 4 - 5 more times, until the TV is completely warmed up....after about a half hour or so, it stops doing it, and I can watch the movie fine. I can also leave it on all day after that, and it has no more problems after that, its just the first intial turn on and warm up or whatever, that it gets all fuzzy and distorted.
So does anyone know what is causing this? Or what I can do to fix it? Its a nice tv, and still has a great picture, so I hate to just get rid of it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks alot,
Nate
