I typically do leave the camera settings on automatic, but now and then tried using manual white balance settings. On certain manual settings, I did get a far better picture of the screen... however as pointed out above, it kinda does screw up the colors of everything other than the screen.

As mentioned earlier, I get better results in the latter part of the day when the sun shines in the windows... which coincides with what Nick mentioned about indoor lighting (I have flourescent tubes in my house).

I find it interesting that while looking at the display of the camera, you can actually see the dark bars moving thru the TV's picture. And, when watching TV, if the program directs the camera onto another TV screen or CRT monitor, you can see the bars rotating in the picture.
