Black and white picture

[inquisitive1]

I have an r15 300. I had my LCD TV on last night and it worked fine. When I turned it on this afternoon, I saw a brief glimpse of color before it went to black and white. If I turned on the VCR/DVD player, the color stayed in black and white until I switched it to DVD mode. Then I got color, although every now and then I lost it. (I use the same DTV connection and split it, so one line is going to another TV. That TV still had a color picture no matter if the VCR was on/off or in VCR/DVD mode.) I checked all the cables; those were fine. Tonight, for one last shot at fixing this problem, I reset my DVR just in case. After doing that, I now have the color picture back.

Is this a DTV DVR problem or a problem with my TV?

Nothing I have ever heard about.
Keep an eye on it, maybe it was a fluke, maybe not, but thats the first time I've seen that.
The first thing D* reccomends is to do a reboot as that normally fixes issues , rememmber these are nothing more than a computer delivering your video/ audio signal.

So far I still have a color picture. We'll see how long it lasts!

However, I just noticed that the time on my DVR is not correct again. This is getting annoying.
