TBS Viewer has turned into a "Torch Light" Screen

[Robin Hope]

I've been using a TBS 8922 PCI Satellite TV Card for a couple of weeks. The 'TBS Viewer' has now turned into a black screen with like a torch light going up and down and side to side of the screen!!! WEIRD!!! I can see the picture in the 'torch light' only. What would cause that? I've even uninstalled it and reinstalled it but it's still the same!!! It's like a torch light randomly scanning a black screen!!! Any ideas on what would cause that please? See attached image.

No idea but maybe it's a trial version and has expired now?

Did you by any chance activated the Spot Light shader? The screenshot is from DVBViewer, but I believe the same shaders are available to TBSViewer (an OEM version of DVBViewer).

Yeap, there is a spotlight shader also on TBSViewer that gives the "torch light" effect.

LOL, never thought to look for that effect in either of those viewers. Quite why you'd need it is beyond me.
