Problems with Hd Lcd Flatscreen Televisions?

I recently purchased a 32" HD tv and hooked it up to the same satellite box that we have been using for few years. Every once in a while a green and purple splash would go across the screen mostly on people faces and only stayed seconds and disappeared but would come back few minutes later. We took back bought different brand of tv and it done same thing. We called company and they said try new cables so we tried new component and composite and s-video cables and nothing helped. Does anyone know what the problem is? We have no problems with the older tube televisions, just the new flat screen.

Suggestion:

You have pretty much identified the problem by trying different TVs with the same satellite receiver. The problem appears on multiple TVs; the one thing you haven't changed is the receiver.

If your satellite receiver is a few years old, chances are it's not an HD receiver. With a modern HDTV, you're going to be a lot happier with a subscription to the sat. company's HD channel package and a replacement for your receiver–at least an HD receiver or (better) an HD DVR. That should both solve your problem and give you a far better picture.

You can test this by trying your TV with other inputs: an over-the-air antenna or a DVD player. If you don't have the green/purple phenomenon with other inputs like that–case closed.
