i would say its watching SD content on an HD telly, some cope with it better than others, it has to upscale the image for the tv.

If that is what it is you will get used to it soon.

I agree with grim on this.  SD channels on an HD tv really sucks.  There is really only 2 things you can do.  Either cope with it or only watch in HD, and even then on HD it can become all grainy depend how fast action is or how big the tv is.

Try finding a channel that is available in both SD and HD and switch back and forth between the two.


Try reading this.  Im not familiar with the site, but it should answer alot of questions based on your situation.

Make sure you are watching it through the scart and that the settings in the Sky Services menu are set to RGB.
Is this TV bigger than your old TV?
The problem more likely is that the new TV is that good it is showing up the inherent faults in a lot of the Sky transmissions , namely the crap bit rate and shit compression used for most of the off peak football.
 The Digital artefacts have always been there but are more noticeable the bigger the screen and the better the TV.
£10 extra gets you Sky HD which will be a lot better
