That's very curious...I've done some color spreads, and added backgrounds
to some 3D files, saved the image as an IFF24 (without ever converting it
to a DCTV display file...this WILL cause artifacting), and then taken them
up to the local dealer's Toaster.
 
Worked without a hitch...without a glitch.
 
If others are experiencing problems with their DCTV, I'm sorry.  I do
notice the artifacting that occurs when you use very oversaturated colors. 
Typically, this can be solved quite easily by running the NTSC filter
across the image.
 
When broadcast, the artifacts are unnoticable to the average viewer (they
don't view the pictures a foot and a half from the screen typically), and
I'm careful on my color choice.
 
It's not perfect.  But if you don't have $2K for a SFC, and $7K for a GOOD
industrial deck, it's the best solution currently IMHO.
