[mythtv-users] Re: PVR-350 with choppy video

[Bennett Leve]

Rei,

In mythfrontend or mythtvsetup?  In mythtvsetup under the settings I 
have the checkbox on for it to use the PVR-350 hardware decoder on 
/dev/video16 turned on.

Not sure there is anywhere else to set something to tell it to use the 
PVR.
