Yes, that is true, but if you see in this screen shot: lvcac.orcon.net.nz it is the same as what my TV is e.g. The bad colours & that is using WMP (You can see that same video here: www.xtra.co.nz)

So in other words, I have the same problem with both my TV & when I play videos

301585 2004-12-10 22:18:00 The xtra site is OK here . I just played it and the colours look OK here . If you're viewing it straight from the net . The tuner isnt needed to view this .

So, the tuner has nothing to do with the prob .

As its coming directly from the net, to you, NOT from the the net thru the tuner to you .

So, what does the picture look like, when u use Playtv Pro?? As these pics arent with PlayTV Pro are they?

I would say its a setting somewhere, or you need to get later / better video drivers . Or update DirectX, if u havent got the latest version of this .

301587 2004-12-10 23:20:00 Ah ok Stu. Well yup , I would update DirectX, and the video drivers if u havent yet. That monitor doesnt look the best either. It could even be that monitor, that needs replacing. Spacemannz (808)
301588 2004-12-11 02:21:00 NO no no no no no no no nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

The problem is that your tuner is running in NTSC (colour) and NZ's TV is broadcasted in PAL (colour)

see if you can set your tuner to PAL in the driver options (if there are any)

301589 2004-12-11 02:23:00 WHooooooooops. I mean set the program you are using to PAL; you are not using a TV tuner, correct? (forgive me for being an idiot) fus1_n (3818)

301591 2004-12-11 03:56:00 Any ideas why WMP & PlayTV Pro v8.01b TV software look like that??

Note: it is not the monitor; I would of done screen shots via Windows but they don’t work too well that is why I had to do photos instead.
