In the old days, they used to transmit test patterns. I presume some technician would check these on a calibrated telly and twiddle some knobs at the control room if it were not right. Now with digital TV we get a load of equine manure. For example 7/72 have too much colour saturation compared to the others. On my STB, I set the saturation to minimum, and it still looks crap.

No. Test patterns were for twiddling some knobs on receivers.

Have you told them this?

Works fine here. Maybe you need to get someone in to tune it properly for you.

Lawrence of Arabia Saturdays movie was heavily out of lip sync amongst other problems
Channel nine deied any problems when I rang them re sound and vision lip sync being out of whack. TYhey suggested that a total rescan of the digital box/set and this helped a little but still not perfect John H "atec 7 7" <"atec 77"@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:hd6e78$bv8$1@news.eternal-september.org...

That was not due to broadcast. It had been restored, and re-edited.

Three tellies all the same on that movie difering hardware of course sill enjoyed it even if Peter O'Tools acting was a little insipid at times

I have a digitised copy here which is sync perfect , it was a gift sometime ago and I gather a good sum was paid for it but as to source made in De if it matters

You have an STB with a saturation control? That's usually done on the viewing device (e.g. TV).
Are you saying this is the case with all Seven programs, because I certainly haven't seen it. There is more variation between different program material than there is between networks.
