Because I have no current need for DV, I installed CoreELEC20-ne today. First the released 20.1. Because I had problems with wired network I switched to the nightly (CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.arm-20.1-Nexus_nightly_20230415-Generic.img.gz). Network problems solved.
In the next step I connected with the tvheadend client to the TVHeadend server on my old Wetek Play 2 (running old CoreElec 9.2.8). The public TV channels here in Germany (e.g. ZDF HD) run smoothly, but for some channels I get a strange display, see image. This occurred e.g. for the free private SDTV channels, e.g. SAT-1.
I think I have seen a similar image here on the thread, but could not find it anymore.
Any ideas?
Limit to 8 or 10 bit in display advanced settings.
@Portisch Thank you for the fast response, but it still does not work.
Under Settings/System/Display I changed ‘Force Display color depth’ to 8 bit (tried 10 bit as well), but still the same problem.
I daily use DVBViewer client on DVB-S(2) by SAT>IP with German TV. No issues here.
Maybe you try another cable or HDMI port?
@portisch I just exchanged the cable with the one from my Wetek box (and so the HDMI port), no effect. Do not know if it is a Premium High Speed HDMI Cable, but at least the one from the Wetek box is in use for a long time.
Could it has something to do with interlacing? The progressive 720p HD channels as ARD, ZDF,… are working. SD interlaced channels like Sat-1, Pro Sieben,… are showing the problem, HD interlaced channels BBC News HD, Servus TV are also showing the problem.

Try 21.0 nightly as it have a lot of improvements about colour subsampling and depth.
Sorry if this isnt the right place to ask but is there any idea for a release date on CoreELEC 21-Omega release?
Just got an LG C2 and looking for Dolby Vision support.
Can’t you use nightly for now? Or you are looking for “stable” release …
Yeah, I think I’d rather just wait for the actual release rather than risk buying the hardware ( Box R 4K Plus), setting everything up and getting glitches.
Are we talking months?
Last Kodi took almost two years to go live, your TV will be almost obsolete, if we follow the industry trend. 150 bucks for the box compared with 10xmore spent on TV doesn’t look much.
