So Merrian-Webster says if you didn't replace it, and it's still being used, it's not obsolete.
actually my new/non-obsolete TV in my bedroom does cut off the ends of the picture. No way can I adjust the width/panoramic/zoom etc. and see to the edges of what must be being shown. I might drag in an OLD obsolete TV and set beside it and see if I can see everything.

I have come across people who can't see the difference between HD and SD TV picture, too. :R

I should tell you that I am getting a new TV installed in about 2 weeks. But we just started a multi-month trip and bummed that we can't watch TV. I'm sure the tech will take apart everything when he retrofits for the new TV. So hopefully he'll find the problem. I'm still leaning towards a problem with the switch box. The way Winnebago built in the equipment, I just can't get behind the switch box without taking apart all the framing, etc. I reached in and felt with my hand the best I could back there, both behind the TV and behind the switch box. Didn't feel anything obviously loose. But really don't know if I'm feeling everything.
So I'll just wait until the new TV gets installed. I don't want to take apart everything and mess it up. The tech will need to see how things currently are set up.
Note to Chuck....I did write that I had "volume", not "sound". It's just the static noise, but the volume control does increase and decrease the noise.
Thanks to all for your comments. They will all become "obsolete" soon. ๐
