Hah, I think I accidentally figured out why everyone on BBC News looks so red for me. For some reason, my TV provider (#Tele2) specify BT.2020 colour space in the video metadata, while it's actually encoded in BT.709.

#FFmpeg came to the rescue on a test clip:

ffmpeg -i input.ts -codec copy -bsf:v h264_metadata=colour_primaries=1:transfer_characteristics=1:matrix_coefficients=1 output.ts

In the metadata there's an original network ID set to "Astra Satellite Network 19,2’E", wonder whether the stream comes with broken colourspace from there, or if it's #Tele2 that's messing things up.

A very long shot, but if anyone could make a short clip from "BBC News Europe" (SID 5001) on 11229 V, would really appreciate it ^v^

In this and many other cases, it's incredibly irritating and discouraging that for any technical problem more complicated than "have your tried turning it off and on again", reaching the actual tech people responsible for some particular thing is outright impossible nowadays.

@forst This was a very interesting problem thanks for sharing. You're right, it would be nice for technical users outside of an organization to sort of provide QA tickets/interface directly with some actual engineers. If you're a big enough "customer" you can get these tickets escalated.

I'm sure companies try to buffer those connections due to liabilities, social engineering, etc.
