Hi,

I can't seem to get my output in PAL for my PVR-350. I tried it according
to the guide form Jarod but despite the ivtvctl commands I still get NTSC
output as I also see from the syslog output:

Dec 30 13:49:24 saruman kernel: saa7127: video encoder driver unloaded
Dec 30 13:49:27 saruman kernel: saa7127: Unknown parameter `enable_output'
Dec 30 13:49:27 saruman kernel: saa7127: video encoder driver version V
0.3 loaded
Dec 30 13:49:27 saruman kernel: saa7127: Selecting NTSC video Standard
Dec 30 13:49:27 saruman kernel: saa7127: Selecting S-Video+Composite
Dec 30 13:49:27 saruman kernel: saa7127: Turn WSS off
Dec 30 13:49:27 saruman kernel: saa7127: Widescreen Mode 4:3 Full Format

Dec 30 13:49:27 saruman kernel: ivtv: i2c attach [client=saa7127[0],ok]

I tried to edit /etc/modprobe.conf to put in some options on my FC3 system
but I had no luck yet. At present they are:

# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
#alias fb0 ivtv-fb
alias video0 ivtv
#install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 ivtv_pal=1 tuner=5
options tuner pal=1
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1

I have left out FrameBuffer support for now to simplify the testing.
