i have recently had Sky digital installed and the quality of the picture looks fine but the screen seems to flicker very fast.It is like a stroboscope or similar to a poor quality computer screen. It is most noticable on the TV guide screen, which you cant look at for any length of time. Is this normal or should the picture be absolutely stable?
I have a grundig box.
Cheers.
Bob

The box generated graphics are diabolical, as long as the picture is fine I wouldn't worry.

I take it you're outputing to a TV scart and not using the RF signal. If you were using RF you should look to change the preset frequency as it could clash with a channel frequency.
