Live TV too dark (1 Viewer)

[AvsFan]

I hope this is the right place, I didn't see a Hardware forum.

I have two PVR-150MCE tuner cards working with MP, but the picture for live TV, and recorded tv of course, is much too dark. Is there a way I can brighten things up?

Is this a video card issue?

Thank you

Try changing your codec settings in MediaPortal Setup if there are options for it there or in its own configuration.

Also search the forum for the Hauppauge Tweaker to change the default settings on the card.

You'll need to post your system specs and codecs to get more specific help.

I'm still unable to find a way to change the my card's settings. I've found some posts here that say the tweaker tool doesn't work.

Are there any other solutions for this?

Hi,
to be able to help you post your computer specs, some cards like mine Asus graphic card have own settings making picture worst & had to be disabled when viewing fullscreen TV/Video........

Thanks, i'll have to do that when i get home as i don't exactly remember my graphics card. I believe it's an Nvidia though.

I think you may be able to skip messing with your tuner cards. I've seen this in the past and just corrected with Nvidia Display tools. You'll have Gamma, Brightness etc...
