TV flickers - you can do that

If your TV flickers, there can be several reasons. In this practical tip, we show you possible solutions to solve the problem.

TV flickers: Check cable

A disturbed picture on the TV can be due to the satellite cable or the connection from the receiver to the TV. You can easily check both.

If your TV has an integrated DVBS tuner and you receive the program via a satellite cable, you should check this connection first. You can check the connection from the TV to the receiver just as easily.
To do this, try to carefully move the cable between the TV and the receiver and plug it firmly into the respective socket.
You should also check the cable for breaks, kinks, or other damage.
Ultimately, you should replace the cable to rule out a problem with the TV, satellite or receiver.

To find out what causes the flickering on the TV, you should take the following measures in sequence.

First turn off the TV and all connected devices.
Now just connect the TV without any connected devices or cables and switch it on.
Now access the OSD (interface) of your TV, for example by opening the menu or the channel overview.
If there is already a flickering, the TV is defective and you should contact the dealer or manufacturer directly to make use of your guarantee if necessary.
If there is no flickering, the problem is not with the TV and you can continue troubleshooting.
Now gradually connect more and more devices and cables and check the picture every time.
If the flickering occurs immediately after connecting a device, it will be due to this device.
You should then check the cable connection, replace the cable or connect the device to another television to rule out a fault in the device.
