Thank you for all the answers.<br>I see some confusion so I'll clarify my setup:<br>I have a DLP projector with VGA, S-video and videocomposite<br>inputs (BENQ PB6100).<br>Previous discusion held on this mailing list suggested that
<br>I had to use the VGA input to get the best out of it.<br>So I bought a (long/special/expensive/high quality) VGA cable<br>and layed it through the wall and roof, and my plans were to have<br>all the output passing through the VGA.
<br><br>So when my friends came with their PS2 and wanted to play with it,<br>it seemed me the most natural thing to connect it to the PVR350<br>and leave the rest untouched.<br><br>I see that I should, instead, forget about linux, ivtv and mythtv,
<br>turn off the PC and just run a dedicated cable from the PS2 to<br>the projector... that's a bit sad but ok... :-)<br>

It's probably the best choice. You may still be able to use myth in this somehow:<br>
If the projector has an auto-sense input, you can have it normally use VGA, but<br>
when svideo signal shows up, use that. Then you can have a myth command that<br>
triggers the passthrough and effectively swaps "game mode" on and off. It would look<br>
like myth was still controlling things. Alternatively, if the projector has a remote to<br>
switch inputs, you could use an IR blaster from myth to perform the same task.<br>
<br>
But overall, it's effectively not connected to myth at all.<br>
<br>
SNES, NES, MAME, etc, can still be played from myth, however :-D<br>

Remove the "3D" from that, not sure how it got in there, looking back
at the thread I don't see it. It should just be "page=TVPassThrough"<br>
