I can post a PAL screenshot later - PAL has higher resolution (edit: except in this case because you have the fullscreen DVDs which aren't available in PAL, as far as I know) and doesn't seem to suffer with the blocky reds. A grab from a digital broadcast might still have the same problem.
If you're curious, I'm working on the font for these screens. And no, it's not aurebesh.
I'm still curious... why are you working on the font?
