Lanczos3 upscaling 1080 to 1080 is just insane and unneeded.

This happened twice to me - once on the home screen, and second time while playing a movie (exiting the movie returns everything to normal, but every attempt to re-start resulted in the same hue problem).

Has anyone seen anything like that?

Everything was working fine until the video froze while playing a file off my networked server. The audio kept playing, however. I could not stop the video, or alt+tab, "\", alt+F4, etc. No response from the keyboard or IR remote. I finally had to push the power button to reboot. The video plays fine on other (Windows, ATV2) boxes. I tried turning off software auto-updates to see if it happens again. Anyone else experience this?

EDIT: It just happened again after playing for 15 minutes. Help!
