Then on top of that, you can also adjust these settings for watching recordings; it just applies some settings to the stream coming through to your TV. After that you of course got your TV brightness contrast, etc. So, you can get in a situation where all three, or mainly just the recording colors and your external TV colors, are competing. For instance, if the TV contrast needs to be turned up because your mythtv contrast is way low, it's going to look really bad. My experience is use the TV controls to make your linux desktop look nice and vibrant outside of mythtv, or to make the mythtv gui look nice, same thing. Get a picture with a bunch of compementary colors and maybe a person in it Then adjust the mythtv recording colorspace, and you'll be sure that this action is compensating for you tuner only and not tuner + TV. If the tuner is bad you can only go so far but you can improve beyond what you think is acceptable, I'm guessing.
