Hopefully one of these days I'll have enough know-how to help out other people myself.  Thanks again for the help.

For those of you still tuning in for reports, here's the symptoms:
MythTV shows up on my monitor (I'm VNC'd into the system).  All features appear to work fine (the backend is even picking up recordings while I work on this).  The checkbox to use the PVR-350 TV-Out is selected, but I still see video through the monitor when I attempt to play it.

Through my TV, however, I am seeing the initial green screen and redraw when the machine is booting.  I then see a black screen with a white cursor that starts in the upper left and then moves to the center of the screen.  I do not see my MythTV display or anything else beyond that.

Card settings and test results follow:

00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2
Encoder (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR-350
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10
        Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

Nov 15 21:09:33 localhost kernel: ivtv-osd: fb0: iTVC15 TV out frame buffer
device

This gives a color test pattern, as expected.

[root at localhost mythtv]# /sbin/rmmod saa7127
[root at localhost mythtv]# /sbin/insmod saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0

Warning: ignoring output_select=0, no such parameter in this module

This produces video and sound that is exactly the way it should be.

Finally, my configuration files:

  It happens. Heck, I've asked stupider questions. I absolutely relate to the 6 hour thing.
  I'm glad it was an easy one.

  Sorry I can't offer anything on TV-Out, not having carried the box to my living
  room yet. ;)
