Superimposed picture

Hi all,
I am getting a superimposed picture of CBBC onto my feed from my Humax PVR. Any Ideas as to what is causing it. Im minded to think that it may be the coax cables or scart leads causing the problem.
I would obviously love to know definately before I shell out large sums of money on new leads.
At the moment I am running a couple of coax leads from Keene electronics (sterling gold) however the scart leads are cheap boxed items.
Thanks in advance billy

Faulty / bad cables will not give you a superimposed picture, (CBBC...??) You are getting a second feed from somwhere else, scart cables in a splitter box perhaps.........?
Very slight ghosting would be more like the symptom I would expect to see.0 -
Hi Total solutions.
When I used the term superimposed picture, that was a bit melodramatic. It is in fact ghosting of the CBBC picture. It is particularly noticable when viewing ITV through the Humax PVR. It also scrolls slowly from left to right.

Sounds like something is either mis-tuned and you are picking up a adjacent channel, or there is cross-talk from cheap/badly shielded cables or switchboxes...0
