To change the color (saturation), brightness, hue and contrast in the
recording press 'G' (each press will select between color, hue,
brightness and contrast) with 'Left' and 'Right' changing the value. 
If you want to change the display color and not the recording then use
the 'F' command (you will need to enable it in the settings).  Before
using 'G' make sure it really is the PVR-150 that has the color
problem and not your TV-out.
