Hello,
I've recently upgraded my ancient echostar LT-8700 to a technomate TM-5500 DAPCI (that's the one with analog and digital)
Is it normal for the screen overlay (menus, now&next info etc) to be in black and white on analog channels? It makes selecting options linked to the the colour remote butons hard...
I use a se cam to pal transcoder, for the analog French channels on Atlantic bird, which worked fine with the echostar. If I try to use the transcoder with the technomate (by plugging it into the "decoder" scart and setting decoder to "PAL" in the analog search menu for each se cam channel) I get a colour picture but also have a vertical band of flickering black and white "noise" about 1/4 of the way in from the left of the screen and all the video overlay menus also flicker, though the tv picture is stable.
I think this is a video overlay bug, Has anyone else experienced this with the technomate stb? Would switching to a different se cam to pal transcoder help?
I've tried altering the settings under the TV System menu, but to no avail, and the colour adjustment menu isn't avaliable on the analog channels.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve these problems they'd be much appreciated.
regards,
drbob
