Picture 'shadow' On Toshiba Widescreen

I am the owner of a Toshiba 32MW7DB widescreen TV which I have owned for several years and has given me lots of enjoyment during that time.

I recently purchased SKY + and conected it to the AV1 socket of my TV using a SCART cable. This allows me to watch SKY channels on the AV1 channel of the TV.

Since connecting SKY +, I have noticed that whilst viewing SKY, there is a feint shadow on the screen of whichever terrestrial channel the TV was on prior to turning to the AV1 channel (make sense?).

does anyone know what I can do to rectify this as it is starting to drive me nuts!

Thanks,

Molezer.

Hi, the fault you describe makes a lot of sense and from your description it appears as though you may be suffering from 'video crosstalk' in your Scart lead. This most often appears when you use poor quality scart leads. I very strongly suggest you try to obtain a good quality Scart lead to connect between your tv and Sky+ box. Regards, yt.
