[mythtv-users] picure quality PVR350/FC1

[Jeff Simpson]

If the colors are ugly, try the magic fix:

# fix color & location
ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0xfe -d /dev/video0
ivtvctl -j reg=0x61,val=0xb1 -d /dev/video0

makes the colors much better on my PVR-350 (rev990) One of them makes
it not-green, the other brightens up the colors.

(or something similar, tweak the values to your liking)

I really wish we could get somebody at Hauppauge to tell us what those
registers are. We know they work, but it'd be nice to have an idea of
what we're doing to them.
