[mythtv-users] PVR350 + MythTv behaviour

[Olivier]

Hi,

I am fairly new to mythtv and linux. So far, I have been able to setup my
mythtv box with an old tv tuner, but I want to upgrade to the PVR350.

I have been following ivtv and mythtv discussion latelly, and my
understanding is that pvr350 tv-out will only spit out a mpeg stream to the
tv-out. This means that if we want to see tv with an overlayed OSD, mythtv
has to modify the tv mpeg stream on the fly and encode osd information into
it, and this is not implemented yet. I also read that mythtv currently
support PVR350 tv out by switching between tv mode (mpeg out) and osd
(framebuffer). My understanding from this statement is that mythtv would
switch between these two mode and thus, we are getting either tv or an osd
with a black background.

In any case, I usderstand that PVR350 is under heavy development and things
are changing everyday and That's why I could not get a clear understanding
of what is working with pvr350 and what's not.

So, is my understanding correct ? if not, what if the current tv-out
behaviour when using mythty with PVR-350 ?

Cheers,
Olivier.
