Question screwed up color

Got a VS plat 2000. Yesterday the color started getting a little out of whack. It seems that there is too much color. Has a reddish glow to it. Changed channals and the same. Did hard reboot and solved the problem for about 4 mins. I then dissconnect everything and reconnected. Worked great for the rest of the night. This morning turned on and it started again/ Any suggestions on what could be the problem.

Reading this from an Electrical Engineer's perspective, it sounds like a hardware issue. If it were a coding issue, it'd be constant (no 4 min "warmup" delay).
Is your TV receiving the signal in analog or digital? If it's analog, I'm leaning towards a faulty DAC (digital to analog converter). Could be as easy as a resistor having a faulty soldering point from the manufacturer.

throw the factory file on to clear it out. Then install the latest bin

Re: screwed up color

The 2000 worked great yesterday. I will load factory file and reload bin, Thanks to all.
