I used to be able to hear a high pitch tone coming from TV sets. Is it that modern sets no longer produce that sound or is it that my ageing ears can no longer hear it. I have been told that one experiences a loss of high frequencies with age.

Occasionally, <this is several years ago> When a TV picture has been really bad you could hear a wildly fluctuating squealy tone. I have actually been able to satisfactorily tune in the picture this way for others in the house. You also used to notice the strange squeal when listening to audio on a scrambled signal before the cable companies perfected their scrambler technology. Remember watching all those events on HBO? We didn't care about the picture. Oops! Don't want to start an off-topic thread so I'll stop this; but perhaps one can still fix a mangled picture?

They put the local oscillator in a better case now so it doesn't skwee-ee-ee-ee like it used to, but yes, it's still very much there. Ha, without it, there'd be no synchronization of the picture!
