Topfield TF6060CI Issues

Hi,

I'm having two issues with the Topfield TF6060CI.

1: I have the YUV output going through a distribution system (Scion 9000) to various remote locations. The picture appears overly bright and saturated at the display. If I bypass the distribution system, there's no problem with the image. Other sat receivers do not exhibit these artifacts, whether the distribution system is bypassed or not. I have measured the voltage of the outputs, and compared it with that of a Sky HD box - a rough average looks like this:

Topfield Y:2v, U:1.5v, V:0.5v
Sky Y:1.4v, U:1.2v, V:1.2.v

I have tried this looking at a number of different channels - so the average is a reasonably safe figure.

2: If the units are switched off at the mains, then switched back on again, they will normally report "no signal". If you go into the setting page and switch from tuner 1 to tuner 2 (or vise versa, depending on what it was set to last), the signal quality pops back up and it works again. Both LNB feeds on the unit are coming from the same multiswitch.

If anybody has experienced these issues and has any econmical workarounds, your response would be appreciated.

Thanks
