   It's not proof, but since the German forums are full of people trying to   
   devise a solution to the colour problem it is a safe bet.   
   Odd too that of all the people interested in hacking their PAL DTV, all have   
   the fault and none have come forward to say that their colours are normal.

   I don't question your integrity, but I need a screenshot of a properly   
   working PAL DTV for the distributor in this country to ascertain wether   
   there is a fault production run. No-one can help because it's impossible to   
   find someone with a PAL DTV that works properly. You claim to have one, so I   
   simply require a screenshot of both a faulty one and a healthy one as a   
   basis for comparison for the QA department of the distributor in this   
   country.

   I'll just wait until after the 17th then since finding anyone with a   
   non-colourfault PAL DTV has been fruitless.
