Have you turned off the image stabilization? I played with this and got beautifull (well as good as they can be) shots from my tv screen with all the other defaults on the cam on standard settings. Also a bit better if you set the tripod and cam back a little and zoom a bit as to get rid of the sides of the TV set. Although, I can capture from DVD by hooking my analog connections (rca) from the player to the cam, and then a firewire from the cam to the computer, then capture as normal which gives superior quality. An analog capture card would take the camcorder out of this however.
