Sky+ Box - pictures have a pink tinge

lolly5648

When I watch satellite tv via my Sky+ the pictures have a pink tinge. If I reboot it goes back to normal but only lasts a few hours.

Does this mean my box is on the way out or is there something I can do?

The pictures are fine if I watch terrestial tv.

Lolly,

I had a similar problem. Have you tried a different scart lead?. That fixed it for me.

You could try unplugging and reinserting the SCART lead a couple of times.

Thanks guys, I waggled all the leads I could find and so far it has worked. I bet if I had rung Sky they would have told me I needed an engineer and not told me to check the scart leads.

Many Sky Reps. wouldn't even know what a Scart lead was.;)

Glad you are sorted.
