Maybe mythtv can be convinced to periodicaly reset the colors to what they
shoud be, maybe once every minute or so.
That woud atleast workaround the problem.

When this problem happends to a recording i can usualy just kill the backend
and start it again and it will continue recording but with proper colors.
