I hava a problem with my Hauppauge PVR350 after an IVTV update.
Picture is strange... Don't know how to describe it, but download a 
sample video here:

This is 6MB. I have traffic limit here at university. So please only 
download, if you think you can help me with this. Thanks!

Image is "pinkish". I think it has to deal with strange 
brightness/saturarion settings.

dmesg says:

saa7115: decoder enable output
saa7115: decoder set picture bright=-182026112 contrast=63 
saturation=-536905984 hue=-1069805324
saa7115: invalid brightness setting -182026112<6>saa7115: decoder set 
picture bright=-182026112 contrast=1 saturation=63 hue=-1069805324
saa7115: invalid brightness setting -182026112<6>saa7115: decoder set 
picture bright=127 contrast=1 saturation=-536905984 hue=-1069805324
saa7115: invalid saturation setting -536905984<6>saa7115: decoder set 
picture bright=-182026112 contrast=1 saturation=-536905984 hue=0
saa7115: invalid brightness setting -182026112<6>saa7115: decoder 
disable output
saa7115: decoder enable output

Does anyone know, how, where and why Myth tries to setup these values?
I can definetively say, that these msgs come up at the second 
mythbackend starts.
I do not know where to search anymore.
Even posted this on ivtv-devel, but Hans Verkuil said he cannot 
reproduce this and if I set these values with ivtvctl it only accepts 
correct values, but not those shown above.

Hope this is a setting in mythtv hosed up.... But i do not know, when i 
would have changed this...

hope somebody can help me.

Jan
