    Check the NTSC/PAL setting.

    Check to ensure RCA cables are correctly in place.

    The fault could be the tv. Try it on another one

    I have replaced cable used two different scarts and normal av connectors.
    Tried it on different tvs.
    One a plasma hd and the other a brand new panasonic lcd hd.
    Also tried it on another normal tv.
    Still no go.
    Also reflashed it twice and that didnt help.
    Thanks for your ideas though.

    sounds like a hardware issue. Might not be worth trying to fix at the price they are now.
