re-started from scratch. Everything is</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=546091219-28102003><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff
size=2>working very well with TV-Out through the PVR 350. I resized the Myth
interface using the Appearance settings</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=546091219-28102003><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff size=2>in
the frontend so that Myth is centered and fits on the screen. I also edited the
ui.xml file so that the font sizes</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=546091219-28102003><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff size=2>are
readable on my television (the defaults were too tiny).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=546091219-28102003><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff size=2>I
have a question regarding the XF86Config setup. I set everything up according to
the instructions at the top</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=546091219-28102003><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff size=2>of
ivtv-fb.c, no problems. However, KDE does not fit into the screen, it is too
large. I'm not very familiar with all</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=546091219-28102003><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff size=2>the X
settings and would like to know if and how it is possible to get KDE to fit to
the size of my television screen?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=546091219-28102003><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff size=2>I
would imagine that this would be accomplished through the use of the XF86Config
file, but, like I said, I am not</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=546091219-28102003><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff size=2>too
familiar with how that would work. Any ideas?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Brett,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>I was unable to find an option to enable Hardware Encoding
through</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>Setup->TV Settings->Playback Settings.
Did I miss something when I</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>compiled Myth? I
commented out line 71, "return false;", before</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>compiling which, according to other posts, should allow for the
use</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>of PVR 350 TV-Out. The MythTV CVS indicates that
all database</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>changes are automatically updated by
the compile/install process, so</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>this should be okay.
Any other ideas?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Thanks,</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>Jim</FONT> </P>

<P><FONT size=2></FONT><BR><FONT size=2>I was probably a little vague about
what I meant by setup.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2> </FONT> <BR><FONT

Select</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>Setup, and go to the TV Settings. In
there, there's a Playback</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>settings. Select

<P><FONT size=2>Brett,</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2> </FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>Thanks for the response, however, I can't find anything in Setup
that</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>allows for enabling Hardware 350 decoding.
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2> </FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>I've tried running
mythsetup and it only allows for setting up the</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>backend for video capture, tv listings, etc. </FONT><BR><FONT
size=2>(menu options General, Capture Cards, Video Sources, Input
Connections).</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>The Capture Cards section is set
up</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>as follows:</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2> Card Type -> MPEG-2 Encoder Card
(PVR-250, PVR-350)</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2> Video Device

<BR><FONT size=2>either. Same problem with frame dropping.</FONT> <BR><FONT

mythfrontend, but found nothing in</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>the playback
settings (or any other</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>settings) that speaks to
hardware decoding.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2> </FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>Since I'm fairly new to Myth, am I missing something? Do you have
a</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>screen shot of the settings screen that I
