Did I get a bad DCTV? No color!

[mechy]

Hello All

I bought a DCTV unit off ebay. I have never seen one, and I have no idea how it works or what I'm going to do with it, but this can't be right.

Anyway, I have tried this thing with 2 different LCDs which accept composite. Both display color when connected to the Amiga, but when connected to the DCTV I don't get any colors (or colours if you prefer)

I have tried adjusting the pixel clock and the tint controls. No dice

I have enclosed a screenshot.

Thank,

Are you trying to use a NTSC dctv on a PAL machine or visa versa?

Yes, I have a PAL a1200, but I did try and switch to NTSC mode in early boot.  

Thanks,

switching screen modes won't make a difference because the dctv gets timing off the video port. a pal machines timing will still be different no matter the screen mode.If there is a way around it i have no idea.
The only reason i knew about this was a friend with a pal 1200 has the same trouble back in the day.

you need a PAL version of the dctv for this to work right i think.
