TV in the living room is a 4 year old Thomson 24" CRT TV with combined dvd. The problem is and I don't know what the technical terms are but it appears to be ghosting.

Say your watching a programme and it's night time for example (a dark background) you can see vertical lines, you can see what appears to be parts of other programmes/adverts displayed faintly in the background, sometimes still sometimes moving. You can make this out more so on a dark background but there also visible on a light background.

The connections at the back of the TV are 2 scart sockets and I have a Philip's DVD recorder and a Sky Digibox all hooked up. The scart sockets used are just the cheap ones you buy from the high st catalogue store.

I think I might have to buy more expensive scart cables to eliminate the ghosting but not being too sure if cheap scart cables is the cause I don't want to be buying expensive scart cables only to find it makes no difference.

Any thoughts to this, if it is the scart cables can you recommend any good quality scart cables.

Thanks in advance folks.

Yes, Sky and DVD's. If I have the DVD recorder and Sky digibox switched off and just watch the 5 terrestial channels the terrestial channels are fine.
