Color information decoding on a composite video signal that includes modulated color information for an analog television receiver. A first burst locked oscillator (BLO) operates in a first loop gain, and a second BLO operates in second loop gain and is operatively connected to the first BLO. The first loop gain is higher than the second loop gain. A method includes receiving, in a first burst accumulator, mixed down color information directly from a first phase detector without filtering the mixed down color information, converting the composite video signal to a burst gate signal, accumulating one or more of the burst gate signal, and calculating a frequency offset for the second BLO in the first BLO expedite the calculating of the frequency offset and to compensate for the second BLO operating in the second loop gain.
