2. Tip to solve problems with PalomaTV (by Gerd Engelmann)

»Difficulties with PalomaTV on WB with more than 8 bit colour depth

I had the problem, that on my 16 bit WB the display of PalomaTV was very distorted. You had to click with the mouse pointer over the TV window, then the picture became clear. Did you activate another window or the WB itself, again the TV picture was distorted. After setting the colour resolution of the WB to 8 bit no problems existed.

Because I wanted to follow one or the other TV program during my work, this really was a nuisance. Villagetronic did not react upon questions, so I made some tests and found a solution:

Cause of the problem is the insertion of a transmitter name into the TV window. After inclosing the tooltype "SHOWCHANNEL=PERMANENT" in parenthesis the problem does not appear any more. But please don't ask me, why.
