    Hi Folks,
    Just a minor but really annoying problem - hoping someone can help/advise

    When I use remote to navigate Sky Plus Box, the text on screen goes fuzzy for just a second and returns to normal (i.e sharpens after a second) -

    This happens everytime I use the remote - for eg navigating up/down channels, channel listing, planner , sky news interactive etc etc.

    Checked TV and it's fine with other inputs, - checked picture settings on sky plus box and seems fine.

    Any ideas?

    Well if it was a PC I would say a graphics card issue.
    Its not , obviously, but it is a GUI issue : So phone sky and ask them to reinstall the last update to your box as it might have not been done properly.
    If you still have a problem after that maybe its time to up grade to HD?

    Sorry, but that is so way off the mark!! Try changing the channels on the Sky box itself and report back. Sounds like the box or your TV is flicking between PAL and RGB. Might be just the wrong TV code on the remote.

    Cheers.
    No noticable difference in the channels themsevles but when I for example move up or down a channel the channel no and programme name quickly blurs and sharpens. Tv itself seems fine - i.e doesn't happen outside of sky box Weird one.

    What is your Sky box TV outoput set to - is it PAL or RGB? You can check this in the Services menu.

    RGB is generally better, so if your Sky box is connected to your TV via SCART just make sure it's a socket that supports RGB.

    Also check the obvious like loose Scart cables.

    Changing settings to RGB worked perfect. Thanks a million !
