HD PVR video loop-outs overmodulated?

[tvmaster2]

I just got around to hooking up the component loop output to a monitor, and it looks really overmodulated - washed-out white levels.
Anyone else seeing the same thing?
The output via USB that feeds Sage looks fine; just the component outs look washed. If there was a waveform monitor hooked up it would probably be clamping around 120 units
Am I doing something wrong (wouldn't be the first time)?

ok, put another one down to the buggy HD-PVR. Turning the unit on and off three or four times made the problem go away.
Bizzare little unit - probably the most finicky electronic item I own.
