Well that was interesting.

It turns out that I was loading the ivtv module with a parameter of
"tuner=57"  I can't quite remember where that came from, but it was the
cause of all my problems.

>From dmesg...
tuner: type set to 57 (Philips FQ1236A MK4) by ivtv i2c driver #0
Apparently this is an NTSC tuner.

If I just load the ivtv module with no tuner= line, it autodetects this:
tuner: type set to 38 (Philips PAL/SECAM multi (FM1216ME MK3)) by ivtv i2c
driver #0

I've now got better quality image on all channels except ATV, and prime is
in colour and TV One has sound.

I'm happy now :)
