First of all, congratulations on the great work for the ivtv driver.

I've encountered a minor problem for PAL output via the saa7127:
black level is set to 0x23 (=37.8IRE), which gives a picture that
is too dark. For a black level at 43IRE (?PAL standard?), the black 
level register (5D) should be set to 51=0x33 (according to the
data sheets this is also the recommended value). Next to that, it
also gives much nicer results.

The following change to saa7127.c, line 201 (0.2.0-rc3 release)
should do the trick:
  {SAA7127_REG_BLACK_LEVEL,                     0x23},
->
  {SAA7127_REG_BLACK_LEVEL,                     0x33},

For NTSC, the difference between recommended values in the data sheet
and saa7127.c is much smaller:
0x39 (=47.0IRE) and 0x3a (=47.3IRE), ?spec=47.5IRE?.

I'm no video expert, so can someone please take a look at the data
sheets and check these numbers (also the GAINU & GAINV)? 
(you may have to use the saa7129 data sheets as the saa7127 is 
no longer available)

Thanks,

_Ramon
