Have just bought a Daewoo 28" tv 4:3 as a temporary measure until LCD etc settle down. When I switch channels on analogue it takes about 5 secs to go from one to the other and it's something I've never experienced on TV's before. I'm connected to a Panasonic STB and a Sony VCR and have checked all connections. Has any one experienced this?

Could simply be that it is waiting to see if you make another keystroke - for example if you press 1 it might wait 5 seconds to see if you press another number (say 2 for the sake of discussion) in case you are actually wanting channel number 12. Very often, TV's that do this will show the number you've just pressed followed by a dash on the screen (1-). Try pressing a zero then the number you want (01 etc) and see if that make it change faster.

EDIT - under these circumstances, this isn't a fault. Philips TV's used to be set up like this years ago, and there is a chance that your Daewoo might just be running Philips software.

Yep, same on my parents' Matsui. They always just end up switching channels using the channel up and down options, much quicker and easier to skip through channels.
