Cable Forum - View Single Post - TV Flickers Using Samsung Box But Not On Aerial Channels

I have just had my Pace box upgraded to the newer Samsung box so I can have the 2Mb broadband service.

Since we have have had that done the TV starts up in black and white and flickers between black & white and colour. The same thing happens when switching cable channels using the remote control.I thought this was just a minor glitch but it's still doing it now after a few weeks.

Strangely when I switch to the usual terrestrial channels provided by the aerial there isn't a problem.

I have my setup rigged so that my VCR, my NTL STB and my DVD player are all connected to the one SCART socket on the TV using a 3-in-1 SCART unit.

Another annoying thing is that unlike my Pace box I cannot access the settings and find the optimum settings for my setup.

Has anyone else had these problems?
