[mythtv] Watching Recordings on TV instead of PC Monitor

[Curtis White]

I don't know if this question is appropriate for this list or not but
nobody on the users list seems to know the answer and at this point
I'm stuck and don't know where to go with it.

I have the PVR350 card with DirecTV going to the tuner of the card. I
have recorded several shows. When I go to play them back (Media
Library -> Watch Recordings) it plays it back to my PC monitor instead
of the TV. I have the options setup under Utilities/Setup -> Setup ->
TV Settings -> Playback to use the PVR350's TV out / MPEG decoder. The
device is set to /dev/video16 and I have the TV audio through PVR350
only box selected (I can use the TV remote to adjust the volume). I
also have the Enable OpenGL vertical sync for timing box selected. As
I understood it, that is all I needed in order to watch my recordings
on the TV. But for some reason it isn't working. It is playing them on
my PC monitor.

When I go to Watch TV, it plays it on the TV just fine. This only
happens when I want to play back my recorded shows.

I think I've checked every possible setting I could find. I don't know
how MythTV knows where to play the recorded files. Is there someplace
to tell it to use /dev/fb1 instead of /dev/fb0 when playing back
recorded files? I think /dev/fb0 is my video card and /dev/fb1 is the
TV Out on my PVR350 card.

At one point this worked because I watched one show when I first got
everything setup. But now for some reason it isn't working. I'm
wondering if something kicked in when I rebooted that made it stop
working.

Here is the relevant section out of my /var/log/messages log. I would
really appreciate any help anyone might be able to give. Even if it is
to point me in a direction. I just don't know what else to check at
this point.
