The new cable was a straightwire $20 s-video. Then I moved that old s-video cable to my 20 inch bedroom tv and also noticed an improvement. If you skip a step and just get a decent cable from a reputable company, at least you'll have peace of mind knowing that you've done something. Dan

Those little connectors in S video cables can be quite fragile. Better idea, crappy execution. Still S video is preferable.
