[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 6194, member: 175144"] Could be a number of problems, as you say the compatibility of the receiver would be the first to check by substitution The feeds from the States could be converted from NTSC to PAL before they are uplinked, the conversion may be done to the video signal before change to digital, or they could be on their second hop (possibly a relay feed) and are being converted to suit the tranfer equipment. The conversion could be to the colour, the vertical height, the screen format, the frame rate (50 to 60 Hz or vice versa) or a combination of all. If you find the signal strength changes and the picture drops out, first try conecting the receiver to the TV via a SCART using RGB signals, then alter the receiver TV output to either NTSC or AUTO if there is one. If the picture fall over or stops every one and a half seconds then you have a PAL set of chips in the receiver which cannot cope with converting the signal to the right output for viewing. [/QUOTE]
