screen jitter

[Dazxy2001]

What causes the screen jitter and occasional artifacts, ie the appearance of fine lines moving up the screen mainly noticable at the edges and moving over icons, when using a scart connection with a crt tv, or lcd tv ? my miggies have always done it, as well as those owned by a friend and is their any solution ? For a machine that is designed for PAL and tv display you would think that a sharp, judder free picture would be do-able!
Or, is it just a limitation of the technology ?

Guess i`ll need to dig the soldering iron out, the one im using atm was purchased new only a couple of weeks ago :/

I imagine im goin to need to buy a decent cable and chop up the one I`ve just bought for the DB23 Amiga video plug, Ive heard some people say to buy the thicker type as they have better shielding, yet Ive seen those locally for £1 lol, so that doesnt give me much confidence, be helpful if the retailers selling the Amiga to scart used quality components in the first place

Hmmm, thanx for that, something to look into, although does the chip run hot over time or is it after a short period of running ? Some people would probably cringe at this as I`ve already seen the comments about heatsinks etc, but I`m goin to be mounting a fan in the case somewhere to have a wee bit of airflow, heat being the enemy and all that, figure if it keeps the motherboard cool it may live longer

you could lag the cable with something? that might do the trick.
