[mythtv-users] PVR 350 TV out

I've been following Jarod's guide for FC3, and have got most things
working.  Unfortunately I'm having great difficulty getting my PVR
350's TV out to work.

If I run the commands

# /sbin/rmmod saa7127
# /sbin/modprobe saa7127 test_image=1

I see the test pattern correctly,  however if I try to pipe video
through the tv out, with the commands:

# /usr/bin/ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -noglobalalpha -localalpha
# dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 bs=64k

I just get what looks like a blank screen with a load of interference overlayed.

I've also tried to run X through the tv out, using the appropriate
xorg.conf file.  In this case I get a static screen made up of lots of
tiny dots that looks pink/purple/blue from a distance.

Does anybody have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Chris
