7020 and video output problems

Hey!

Has anyone come around a problem where 7020 displays from composite-out and scart (both comp & rgb) a scrambled video. It has heavy distortion and leans 45" diagonally. The weirdet thing is that right after boot when it shows that blue gemini wallpaper everything is 100% fine and right after that when the screen goes blank for a few minutes the pivture comes back distorted...

Does anyone know if that can be repaired by changing chip or smth?

Cheers,

May I suggest you load the latest genuine Dream Multimedia firmware and test again

I've uploaded the latest original firmware and the picture remains the same (see attachment). If it was a hw failure then how is it possible the very first picture shows without ANY artifacts or distortion (see last thumb)?

I think that video standards are not set right. If you choose pal when installing flash on dreambox, check is your tv is set right. After that verify also in A/V settings in your image

These are ALL correct. After a uploading a fresh image to the box I get to select video standard but there already the picture is f*cked... Anyway, thank's to all who bothered and I'll swap that box out in warranty...
