I did't find anything with I could have adjusted it and nor could the
official video service fix that. They said it can be anything like some
contact a bit broken in one circuit board, so repairing that isn't worth

one, but they didn't have such working circuit board.

Perhaps plain TV-tuners are sold much less than VCR:s which keeps the
price high...
