32" rca says unusable signal everytime i start it any ideas?

[tyweed]

everytime i start my computer in my cabinet then with my tv remote turn on my tv it goes to the s-video screen but says unusable signal. in order to get video i hit input on the remote which turns it to chanel 3 then i hit input again and it works?  i don't understand why it does not recieve the s-video signal the first time. it needs to be refreshed to get it to grab the video from the computer. i have a radeon 7500 with s-video connected anyone have this problem.or know a fix i can try

I have a 27" tv with the same problem. It uses the same channel for both composit and s-video. Whichever signal it is getting, it uses. It defaults to composit first so if there is no signal from s-video and no signal from composit it shows nothing even if a signal starts to come from s-video. If, while it shows nothing, you give it a signal from composit, I bet it would show the picture from that.  About the only thing I can think of to do is somehow delay the power to the tv until the computer is giving a signal from the s-video. I am not sure how you can do that but maybe someone here can. Good luck.

I got an idea. Mail it to me I'll tell you if I can get it working or not. It'll only cost you a 32" TV.   j/k

Sorry, I really can't help you out there.

What happens when you wait just a bit?  I've got an RCA TV that does the same thing.  I just wait a few seconds, and it comes up with the BIOS screen okay.

Now, what I DO find annoying about this TV is if the signal degrades even just a hair, I get the 'Unusable Signal' screen.  I had to attach my NES to another TV as it would flash this about every five seconds, rendering games unplayable (well, not unplayable, but extremely distracting...)
