Why is my Matsui DTR1 playing a red and black image on my TV?

You have the Freeview box set to use its SCART socket in S-VIDEO mode, but the TV set to expect RGB on its SCART socket.

Go into the menus on BOTH items (TV and Freeview receiver) and set them both to SCART-RGB if available or failing that both to SCART-S-Video.

Possibly, you either have a loose RGB connection of the scart lead between Digibox and TV (ie. only red connected), or maybe you have CVBS Video/S-Video (input to output) mis-matched.

Make sure scart lead is secure at both ends and/or try a different TV scart input or check it's input setting corresponds to the video output signal from the digibox within the menus.
