Re: TV gone weird
Have you checked your contrast / brightness etc (just in case you've accidently sat on the control or something)?

Re: TV gone weird
Knackered? Have you tried powering it off, leave it to cool, switch it back on? Any magnets near it?

Re: TV gone weird
At a guess I would assume that your red cathode gun has packed up. Try adjusting the colour settings and watch the BBC test card (is it still transmitted?).

How old is the telly? Sounds like it's failling and you need to look to either get it in for servicing or replace it at some point.

Re: TV gone weird
I remember smearing Ribena with a tissue all over my sisters old TV with my brother in law about 7 years ago to give the impression the tube was on its way out, he really wanted a Big Screen TV

Have you recently placed a speaker within about a foot of your tv ? Speakers have magnets inside which affect tv screens turning them green if there to close
