Both HDPVR seem to have contrast up 300%
All of a sudden, both of my HDPVR seem to be capturing video with the contrast turned up 300%. Stuff is so bright that I can not make some items out. The other tuner is working fine. Anyone else seeing this?

Rolled back the drivers and they seem to be working fine again.

No, but I had recently updated drivers due to another issue...I fixed that in another way and forgot I did the drivers. When I remembered, I rolled back.

somewhere on here, sorry don't have a link, someone posted the encoder configuration you can paste into the server properties file to adjust for the newer drivers. I myself stick with v1.5.7.0 since for my XP system its the most stable.

I just did a reinstall and had the same problem with washed out contrast and over saturation. uninstalled WinTV 2.5d and rolled back to old HD PVR drivers...no more contrast problems
