Also, the picture is very 'liney'. Even at about 6 feet from the TV (sony 32") I can see very fine horizontal lines scrolling up the screen. This is only on the BBC local news.

Both 'features' are exactly the same, every day.
Yes, and mine is on the right.... mmmm, I'm begining to think that MikeyB is correct and it's that the local news is in a trimmed widescreen so there should be slight bars at either side. That would also explain the "liney" picture if they are just taking a 4:3 picture and zooming it?

Just checked the settings for the scart input and it let me select RGB centering (strange - sure I couldn't before). I've adjusted the picture to the right so I should see less bar, if not one on each side
