I just tried to manually adjust the brightness setting on the second tuner on the PVR-500. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ivtvctl -d /dev/video2 --set-ctrl=brightness=128 ioctl VIDIOC_S_CTRL ok Brightness = 0 Contrast = 0 Saturation = -2146937321 Hue = -1072070410 Volume = 0 Mute = 0 Is there a bad batch of PVR-500's being shipped?
