[QUOTE="vincewarde, post: 1037802, member: 121816"] Well I thought it was fixed - but I discovered that if I changed to a high definition channel, running off the HDMI, it would remain on HDMI when I switched back to a standard definition channel - and the distortion would resume. So much for that fix. Next, I tried using component for everything and for whatever reason, that just didn't work. I know it should work and I was probably doing something wrong, but I would not get it to work reliably. After all this, I turned my attention back to the Directv receiver. I took a look at the resolutions enabled, and at the bottom end, I saw that both 480p and 480i were enabled. I wondered if the problem might be that the Colossus could not handle 480i - so I disabled that mode. I confirmed that the Directv receiver was up converting the 480i channels to 480p. I then changed everything back to HDMI - and the problem was gone. This time I waited a while before posting, and the fix appears to have "stuck". THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT IT APPEARS THAT THE COLOSSUS DOES NOT SUPPORT 480i My guess is that Directv either updated the software or lowered the definition on the SD channels, and that's what caused the problem to start. BTW, the Colossus does not seem to have a problem with 1080i. [B][U]So, if you have this problem the fix is to disable 480i in the Directv receiver. [/U][/B] [/QUOTE]
