Hi, We have a Sky + box, a Sony Bravia TV and a Sony DVD Recorder. Last week for the first time when listening to radio on Sky the picture on the TV went from blue to a very grainy b/w. I changed channels to Sky News, the picture was in b/w and grainy. After about 40 sec it went to colour. Switching back to radio on Sky after around a minute the screen went b/w. I checked all the scart leads and they seem fine. Looking more into it the longer my Sky + box is on a radio station the longer it takes the picture to go back to colour. I have removed the power from the Sky box etc but this has no effect. If I turn on the DVD recorder whilst the tv picture in in b/w the picture through the DVD is in colour, turning the DVD off and going back to AV2 for Sky it once again appears b/w. Would I be corect in thinking this is an input problem on my TV? Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Well the plot thickens. I called Sky and Sony earlier, seems it's a new problem to all. Looking into it further I have replaced all scart lead's for new ones, the problem is still there. Its pointing towards my Sky Box or LNB at the moment, I found out that if I pick a radio station from 0101 to around 018... all is well, soon as I enter a station above that the problem starts up. I will get to the end of this I hope. I think I can eliminate the TV as a fault source.

Why do you care whether it's in colour, black and white, grey, grainy or not if all you are doing is listening to the radio? I turn my TV off if I'm only listening to the radio through my Sky box.

If you read my post clearly you would see that the problem is once the Sky+ box is re tuned to tv, the picture is b/w and grainy
