London RTL feed in b&w

[s*t*a*r*m*a*n]

On the London RTL feed on telstar 12 at 15 west showing american feed of msnbc i am receiving the channel in colour on my pc computer monitor but the channel is outputting from my video out to my tv in black and white, this is the only channel that does this on the whole arc. Why?

If it's American it will probably be in NTSC and that comes through on non-NTSC receviers in black and white (with some picture shift).

not sure 2old but my video has ntsc circuitry and can play ntsc videos.

 

[2old4this]

but does it give an NTSC signal though to your TV? If so your TV needs to be NTSC compatible too...

Hi S*T*A*R*M*A*N,

Your Pentavision card is set to receive in pal for all shannels generally, to check this one channel go into config/source and change it to NTSC, then it should send the right signal to your NTSC enabled video.

excellent idea
why didnt i think of that? i will do it tomorrow but not tonight as its too late and i think the neighbours might hear my motor, not sure just how loud it is outside but probably loud enough.

 

[s*t*a*r*m*a*n]

OK i moved the dish stuff the neighbours. Im still getting the picture out to tv as black and white. The picture on monitor does change but tv is the same. What is idtv? and motion filter? its in the settings but i have never had it seem to do anything

Sounds like the UK spec cards only put out in PAL composite then. IDTV stands for Integrated digital TV, the don't really know what the other one does I'm afraid, unless it is to stop pixellation on quick movement.

Nver managed to sort this problem out, i can only assume 2old is right about the signal bneing ntsc. oh well..

being trying to change my email address but cant seem to get it to change, my old email i have used for last few years is now no longer working, i wish my email responses to be sent to starmanuk50@hotmail.com

If you PM Chris or 2old they will check out why you can't change your E-mail, having said that they will probably pick up the message from this thread anyway.

PS. I have found that occasionally the card only throws out a mono picture anyway and needs to be reset to change to colour, not sure whether it's a software or hardware glitch.

I have enabled the option which allows members to change their own account info (first name, last name, email address).

Is this the new LMS shorthand?

 

[s*t*a*r*m*a*n]

Thanks i will try again 2old.
So im not the only one getting a black and white picture rolf?
Reset does work not sure why. I was blaming my upstairs video, but downstairs video same make, model is exactly the same.
Wonder if this is another one of those driver conflict problems. Maybe it only does it on later versions.

 

[rolfw]

No, just one of those standard Beta Hardware/Software problems that we all seem to encounter.
