Hi, we seem to have lost some of the colour on our TV - don't seem to have red - is this a digiturk problem or something we can fix ourself and, if so, how?

Thanks xx

Make sure the scart cable is sitting firmly in its socket on both ends...(TV and receiver)

I second that, this happened to us a few weeks ago, thought TV was on the blink.

Unplugged scart, both ends, when replaced, picture OK.

Good luck.

If that doesnt work there is a section in TV's that process colours. every colour is produced from red green and blue there will be a plug from the circuit board to the screen carrying this info which may be loose or dirty ! regards Barry

Thanks for replys. Not the TV as there is no problem when watching DVDs - could it be the box?

The DVD player probably has its own scart cable connecting it to the TV

Have you checked the scart lead connections of Digiturk box?
