Ghosting

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Recently bought a 36" Toshiba Cinema Series (36AX61 I believe). On some stations there is a strong ghosting effect - it was very noticeable on ESPN or FOX football games. I had the cable company come out and they changed cables and the two way splitter located from the wall to the TV. Not much help.
My next step was to make sure my cable run from the main feed was clean - that is, minimize splits, keep the cable away from electrical wires, and use plastic fasteners rather than metal "U" nails. Is this worthwhile or a waste of time? What should next steps be - call a Toshiba service man or get the cable company back out?
Thanks for any suggestions. This has been disappointing considering my expectations when switching from a 13 year old 25" Magnavox to a 36" supposedly good quality Toshiba Cinema Series.
