Yeah, nasty red/green bars every 16 pixels.

SHOCK!  That is AWFUL!

Hrm, the colour signal from the VIC should be nil nada nothing, so all
the colour signal is that filtered luma stuff, right?  The luma signal
won't be nice steep edges, if you add two lines the signal won't be flat
I guess.  But dunno :-)

The colour signal on the composite is about as strong as you can get!

I don't want to imagine it, I get a headache already!
