Image Bending on TV

Source: http://sci.techarchive.net/Archive/sci.electronics.repair/200701/msg01745.html
From: RobtDdrich@xxxxxxxxx (Robert Diedrich) Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 00:13:I purchased a Sharp Model 25C340 Television and when I play copy protected (Macrovision) prerecorded videos through the tv the image bends at the top of the tv screen. I know this was a problem with older tv sets (though my old RCA set didn't have this problem) and am wondering if this is a design fault with this model of Sharp brand tv or can the bending problem be adjusted out? Thank you, Robert.
