Hello everybody!

I've recently purchased a new TV (Samsung WS28M064) and I'm experiencing a problem with the picture from my NTL STB. There seems to be what I can only describe as a flashing or flickering on the picture, which is especially noticeable when the scene on the TV is darker. I have been trawling through this and other forums and have noticed that someone else has had a similar problem on a Panasonic Plasma screen. The TV has RGB compatible scart and I have connected the cable box to this socket. I have changed the STB settings to output RGB (as it is meant to be better quality) but the flickering is worse than under the 'composite' setting! Under the composite setting the flickering is greatly reduced but still apparent.
The STB I'm using is a Pace unit; model no: 2000. I have checked my scart leads and there doesn't seem to be any problem with them and they are fully wired (which I understand means they are RGB compatible?).

Can anyone help what is becoming a rather frustrating issue?

Please let me know if I can provide any more information that might help.

Cheers!
