I have a Philips Magnavox 29" (I think) TV, somebody gave us. Beggars can't be choosers.

I've been dealing with the whole Purple and/or Green blotch issue, because it isn't there all the time... waiting till I can afford what I want... a 42" or better flatscreen.

I've also been dealing with another issue... and this one is just plain stupid.

Switching to VCR/Aux.

Here's the process...
Channel down below channel 2.

Now, that's not hard for a person to do... you can even go directly to channel 2 and then hit channel down.

But the problem? Try telling the procedure to my new Logitech Harmony remote.

I can tell it to press 2 then channel down... but the tv is waiting for 02 or 2 seconds... so sometimes, it channels down from whatever channel you're on.

This makes 1 step activity programming nearly impossible.

The original remote has a TV/VCR button that is SUPPOSED to switch directly to VCR/Aux... but does it? NOOOO!

3 times in the manual it says 'Tip: Use the TV/VCR button to go directly to the VCR/Aux inputs.'

ARRRGGGG

Plus I had another failed recording for my wife last night. It only recorded the first half of The Office.

WAF is very much down.... Sad

What's the deal with the purple and green blotches?

I used to run an authorized Magnavox service center, I might be able to help.

As for the switch to Aux, yeah, I gave up trying to do that with the Philips set in my bedroom.

In the Harmony setup you can enter extra "waiting times" between commands. Maybe that could help.
You could also record the button-presses with the right amount of time between them.

There are purple hazed and greenish blotches on my TV. A friend told me what needs done, but I haven't had the time to have him do it.
