The system works ok after a cold reboot. But, after the first service restart (service panel, tvservice stop/start or in TVSetup, Manual Control, service stop/start), the image colors are wrong. It looks like the color standard is off.

Steps to reproduce -
1 - Cold Boot Server
2 - Start MediaPortal in the client Machine. Turn TV On. Colors should be ok.
3 - Stop MediaPortal at the client machine.
4 - Restart the TVService in the server machine.
5 - Start MediaPortal in the client Machine. Turn TV On. Image should look bad, with wrong colors.

Reproducible - Always.
Setup - - Network, single server.

Logs and sample images attached

Just as an update,

Tried with latest SVN and updated the PVR150 drivers to the latest version and the problem continues.

Update: Problems doesn't happen with NTSC. Will do more testing with latest SVNs and PAL-M.

Update: Changed the Tuner to a PVR500 and now I don't have good colors not even after the restart. Seems that the good results after the reboot could be driver/card related.

Fixed after frodo implemented the TVStandard support on the server.

Thx to the developers.
