[mythtv-users] Problem ajusting contrast/brightness/color

[Bruce C.Dillahunty]

Do you have tuner type=2 (or bttv tuner=2 - I've seen both references) 
in your modules.d options stuff?... This seems to be an issue with this 
tuner card if I understand things and
adding this option seems to fix it (at least I think that's what worked 
for me).
