 	It certainly sounds like your A960 or (gulp) TV has issues.  If 
you provide a proper frequency signal (e.g. regular VGA=480p), it should 
"just work."  What happens when you just connect the Y cable?  You should 
get a nice monochrome signal.  If you still have convergence issues on 
that, you can say it's the TV (or a horribly bad sync signal from the 
A960 causing the TV to "not quite sync").
