Strange output through tv

I have just bought a lead to put my A115Z through my tv. However, when I plug it in I get a very distorted image through the tv. You can just about make out the picture but it is all over the place( kind of severly wobbly like it needs tuning in) I have tried it on my other tv with the same problem. The output is fine if I put it through a computer monitor. Any suggestions?

i have found in the past that if the lead is a cheap one it can pick up interferance (spelling) if you look at my lead it has a coil on it to help with that.

That could well be the problem. I will return the lead and go for a Sony one. Cheers again. By the way, whats the picture quality like through the tv? Is it clear or slightly fuzzy?

I've seen a similar problem when other SCART or AV connections to the TV are active at the same time as the notebook connection.

Make sure that Video recorders/DVD players/Digiboxes etc. are turned to standby when viewing the notebook on the TV.

Checked it on a tv that wasn't connected to anything. Same problem.
