Hmmm... sounds an interesting telly! The "comb effect" definitely shows it's
interlacing. I've not come across a telly that will automatically interlace
non-interlaced video before - although I have seen one that refuses to sync
to the SAM - a bit of a dodgy widescreen 26" CRT!

Now the question is, depending how the TV is interlacing the frames, and how
many frames there's been since the SAM was powered up - when the 'Interlaced
Pictures' from FRED are loaded the frames might show with the intended
'interlacing', or be reversed - if 'A' is the frame with the top row, 'B' is
the frame with the row to be shown below, your telly could interlace
correctly so the TV displays with the lines ordered ABABAB, or could be out
of order and display BABABA....  (hope that makes sense!)
