[mythtv-users] Myth reset ivtv settings

I'm not sure if this is Myth's problem or ivtv's problem.  I have a 
PVR-250 MCE that in most respects is working well.  However, it seems 
that Myth resets certain settings that I set using ivtvctl.

For example, I need to change the hue to get a decent picture.  If I set 
the hue with ivtvctl and change the channel in Myth, the hue is reset.  
The workaround is to change the Xv hue control instead which seems to be 
persistent.

It also resets the dimensions.  With ivtvctl I set a 480x480 picture 
with 4:3 aspect which I also configure Myth for.  When I start 
mythbackend, it resets the card to 720x480 which produces a weird 
picture.  I've gone ahead and just configured myth to expect a 720x480 
picture which seems to work.

I've found workaround for both of these, so I guess that I am mostly 
interested in figuring out if these are bugs and if so if they are myth 
bugs or ivtv bugs.
