Hi David and all, Does your "flickering" look like a vertical line tearing the picture? If so, I have the same problem in the UK, reproduced with both an ATI card and an NVIDIA card (its actually there in normal usage, which you can see by maximising and minimising windows... but is much harder to notice). I believe this is a problem with how linux TVout works with PAL.
I don't have a solution yet, so I hope your problem is different! If anyone can shed any light on this, I would be very greatful. Perhaps coincidentally, I am also running Ubuntu.
