hoping it was just static messing with the video card.
Anyway.
Post more information, then we can help.
What kind of TV do you have?
Is it an LCD/CRT/Plasma/DLP?
Is it an HDTV/SDTV?
What kind of cable are you using?
Are the right jacks plugged into the right ports on your TV?
Is the HDTV/SDTV on your (assumed) component/composite switcher cable set to SDTV?
