If they all seem OK then one option might be to do a Factory Reset on the TV. This will restore it to out of the box condition which means you will have to retune Freeview all over again and any settings you have changed will be reset to their defaults. But if it is caused by some configuration oddity this may clear it. If that fails then it could be hardware fault. Which is why I will never give house room to an all in one device. In this instance to fix the DVD player you lose the TV as well. Similarly if the DVD is beyond economic repair you have to replace the TV as well. With separate devices you only fix/replace the faulty bit and can continue using the working bit in the meantime. |

By any chance, have the settings changed to some thing like NTSC or SECAM playback. Might be worth checking.

Hi iv'e checked settings and all seems ok,but i have noticed that also on dtv/usb it's also black and white. i normally use a separate free view recorder box and this works in colour no problems.

Lack of colour is relatively common on the cheap gear. presumably due to EEPROM corruption (as I mentioned earlier), and probably caused by duff capacitors in the set. |
