In the past, we have seen several device-specific bugs like that, caused by
bugs in the graphic driver dll. For example, StretchBlt was broken on some
Casio devices. The problem got fix by a firmware upgrade from the
manufacturer.
In the case of E355, we are not sure that this is the problem, but we
suspect it might be.
PocketTV is a very well tested piece of software (about 1 million copies
installed, 1200 more registered every day). So when a problem appears only
on a new device, this is suspicious.
