The TV downstairs, starts flashing/blinking for about 2 mins when its first switched on, then it stops.

I was thinking it may be the refresh, or is the TV on its way out.

Me dad as one of those CCTV camera's connected to it through scart - is it possible this could be interfering with it?

TV screens aren't my strongest things.

sounds like it could be a fault with the tv power supply

i dont know a site but i know several people who have brought cheap tv's from supermarkets and after a couple of yeas they started to have problems when switched on (similar to what you describe, flickering or white flashes, this was caused by parts in the power supply unit failing but after the set had been powered on it gave the psu time to settle, they were cheap to repair.
