Hey John, I wasn't talking about that GE VIR thing of the 70's. I was talking about compensating the chroma gain in the TV set for circumstances where the burst and chroma levels would be attenuated!

I and Q demodulation will give you the same color rendition as an R-Y /B-Y system if the gains and phases are set properly. You can't get the wide I channel but that is really hard to see.
