Screen colors are off (purple) instead of blue on NMT

[go4it]

Hello.
I followed the guide for N-PVR installation and some of the threads that Martin and others helped sort out the problems of connection and resolution.
Now I can connect the the N-PVR from NMT but the screen is purple-ish... The colors are off.
Attached are all the possible logs I could generate.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Pavel.

Thanks for the fantastic set of logs, unfortunately I don't see a specific reason, other than maybe inserting the cables more firmly. Since Israel is a PAL country does setting the NMT out to 720p50 hz help? Also are the colours off on the NextPVR screens, video or both?

Martin, thanks a lot for all the work that you have done!
It was the connection alright!
The problem is that I have my lcd monitor and projector connected through hdmi splitter and somehow the connection to the lcd monitor suffers while the projector had nice colors. I knew the purple-ish effect from the analog connections but here it is... Once I disconnected the cables and connected them again the colors were alright for a while on both monotors but after a couple of seconds the lcd monitor got purple again, so I guess that is it...
Also I noticed while playing the Live-Tv that the brightness is lowering quite a bit after I switch the channel. I found that only after I hit the blue button for OCD it becomes normal again...
So anyway thanks a lot again for you help!

If they are both active at the same time it might be that they have different HDMI properties or the splitter needs an amplifier too.

In 720p mode the display is a little bit hard washed out whenever the OSD is on the screen because the alpha channel is not fully transparent. When the OSD disappears it should be ok. When you switch channels you will get the OSD for about 5-10 seconds (with the channel name number and EPG details at the bottom) it should disappear on its own.

The splitter is amplified and both recieve 720p 60Hz. When I tried to connect directly from NMT to monitor it still gives the purple screeen so I guess the problem is with the monitor...
Anyway I think I can live with that for now as long as projector gets the right colors.
As for OSD - sometimes it goes back to the original brightness but sometimes it does not. But the blue button always does the trick so it is OK.
Thanks again!
