You are getting the flickering probably because:
The device has no heatsink and is overheating
The power supply of the device has a fake Ampere rating and doesn't provide a stable or high enough Ampere.
Latest KitKat firmware might solve it, but there are so many fake RK3188 TV Boxes named CS918, it will be difficult to find the correct firmware.

thanks for the reply
dont think its firmware as i had firmware running but only on them low settings
there is a heatsink on the board but it looks like its been throw on lol
this thing flickers right from the start so could be power supply : (
