Ironic First post re. TV

Awright, tradition would dictate it's my round. What you having?

Got a new TV delivered today, Sony KDL42W7, and the picture is shit.  Sky HD source, any idea? Or is it just a case of bigger picture less detail or a myriad of possible set up options?   Guitar stuff to follow, promise.

I believe a welcome is in order. I'll have a cup of tea (it's January don't you know). Report to reception too or you'll face a forfeit.

Have you tried it with a non-broadcast source, DVD or some such.

Sony TVs aren't generally shit, IMHO.
