I tried adjusting the brightness and contrast in the channel change script,
via:
/usr/bin/v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/video0 --set-ctrl=brightness=100
But it seems to have no effect. I can use the same command during a
recording from the command line and see it effect the brightness. It
appears that when the recording starts, these HD-PVR settings get reset to
defaults.
I'm running 0.24.1-fixes, btw.
