Hi Bob...  I presume that you are talking about the problem being
in the TV ?  Correct me if I'm mistaken.  If so, my question then is,
"why did this not happen when the TV was hooked up to the local CATV
system ?  I've only noticed it since beginning to use the Sierra IRD.
Whichever unit you are refering to (TV or IRD), can you describe where 
this control would be located ?   I havn't seen anything marked as such
on either unit.
Thanks for your quick reply.  The backbone must be in 'high gear' :)
Sincerely,
           Bruce - kb6lwn - ck1@pacbell.net
