Summary: getting black and white output,everything else is fine

Initial Comment:
Hi,
I'm using Avermedia Avertv Go tv tuner card. I was using Windows and i recently switched to Ubuntu. So I looked up the links tvtime.net and http://pikupq.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/configure-avermedia-aver-tv-go-007-configuration-in-ubuntu, to configure my card to run in Ubuntu. But when I used the commands dmesg or lspci or lshw, it gave me that my driver was "bttv". So I configured the tvtime that way, for example I ran the modprobe command with bttv as the argument. 

Now, the problem is : I'm getting output video in black and white. Everything else is fine only the video is black and white! It's like I'm watching tv in the 80's!!

I am attaching the screenshot, if it helps.

And here is the output of tvtime at the terminal(I ran it in the verbose mode) :

Thank you for using tvtime.


Oh and one more thing, I'm using digital home service(through set-top box you know), so I have the video source as composite and not tv signal.

I need help badly...
Thanks in advance

Ray
