Default Dvb-t picture quality.

Can anyone shed some light on why my picture is very pale on the screen? I'm not sure yet if it's an aerial issue and as per my other thread I've a S/H replacement turning up for that, one other thing I can think of is maybe give the most connections a clean with some isopropanol and make sure their spotless, does anybody know what controls the picture? As normal the screen is vibrant, it's a bit hit and miss when on TV and this is what makes me believe it's a signal thing but then it's a digital signal so kind of scratching my head

Is it a pal / ntsc signal issue, I have never had need to go looking but have you tried pushing setup when in the TV mode to see what can be adjusted

My own car is mugging me off out it on this morning and it looked fine, I took a picture and it was a lot better.



But as I type this it's as if there is a white balance issue, as bright parts of the screen get washed out, messing with picture settings is getting a bit better but still doesn't seem right, I might just be being really fussy

Looks like it's gone back to how it was, fingers crossed it's not internal, and it is just a signal issue.

The actual picture is an analogue connection between the TV Tuner and the MMI control head, I don't think a signal issue would cause that. A signal issue would just cause breakup of the image or no reception at all. DVB-T is either on or off, the picture should remain the same. You could check the connections on the Tuner in the boot, it wont the be fibre or power connections but the single connection on its own that is the video out.
