Why does my picture have a green tinge?

This evening when I switched on my TV, the picture had a green tinge and I have tried changing picture colour settings, unplugging and plugging in TV etc. again and cleaning sky card but with no luck. Anyone any ideas?

Seven answers so from seven clueless idiots .!
The green gun can be backed off a little or the red increased.
Not Magnetised
Tube is not going , Should be easy adjust for TV Tech.
Cheers Pete.
look really close and you will see that the red tube/blue tube has gone..new telly i'm afraid!
That will happen when you have a high power magnet near the TV. Most likely it is stereo speakers. Take them away from the TV. Note: If you keep them there for long that green tint wills tay there no matter what
color tube's ready to blow on it...you can either get it fixed and prolli pay more than the tv's worth or get a new tv.
What you have is the color guns have gone bad, if the tv is more than 9 yrs. old, get a new one. If your tv is newer you might want to consider having it repaired. At my shop you would be looking at a$100 to $150 to repair the tv.(25 in. to 41 in. and less money for 21 in. to 5 in.
dont leave your tv on standby
yes you need to renew it
what kind of tv? this could be a different issue if the tv is lcd.
