    The first thing that you need to do is to check whether the connections are all OK. Secondly establish whether you have got a good signal going to your TV. There should be something in the TV setup which tells you what % strength of signal you are receiving (most need at least 75%). If you have got a good signal, I would connect your skybox to your upstairs cable to see if your skybox also pixelates on that cable, if it doesn't you know that it is a problem with how your TV transcodes the signal.

    are you using both TV'S together Always thought you could only have hdmi output or scart from your box but not both together may be wrong. I had a similar problem many moons ago using a modulator simple test with your tv on downstairs see how it pixalates then turn your tv off downstairs and see if it is still doing it.
