Mike Crane: if you are still wondering about this from 2008, I think I know, to help others...
The fact that you can see the channel that the TV was on, when you switch to your digibox- It seems there is a problem with badly screened cables..

(Briantist: and no clue yet!! ) to continue..
these can behave just like a transmitter, for sensitive modern TVs to pick up the signal from inside your TV, your neighbors TV ... this is what you see, ghosted on top of the proper signal!..

I helped a friend once, with bad reception.. he said, just change the AE plug... when I stripped the cable back, I saw the 'screen' was ONE thin wire!!!! It only cost me a pound for 5m, he said... :P
I know many scarts do not have 'over all screen', too..
some TVs also OUTPUT on their scart, causing more probs!

erm, The original post was about ghosting!!!
Oh, and also note, if you are not using a HDMI, the output to your TV is NOT digital, it is analogue - the lack of screening will pick up the radiated video from the rest, giving the ghost!

To address the original comment about ghosting.
Old post but I suspect still very common.
My experience is that a low quality fully wired scart can cross talk and give rise to ghosting and sometimes add noise to a signal from a set top box.
When Analogue closes down the TV set generates noise and this cross talks to the STB signal.
A wire in the scart cable can be cut but that another matter.

kieran r: This transmitter is analogue only until next year when it closes. Digital services are from the next-door Crystal Palace transmitter.
