[mythtv-users] PVR-350 TV out

Does the TV-out (the S-video output, as I understand) from the PVR-350
card (when using the hardware decoder in MythTV) just work?  Or does
it require lots of tweaking of the XF86Config file in order to get the
picture looking decent?  I'm just wondering since I'm considering
purchasing a PVR-350 and wanted to know how well the TV-out would
work.  I have a 4:3 NTSC 27" TV, and I really want MythTV's output to
make it over to the TV.  Background:  I previously spent about 3 hours
trying to get my Geforce2 GTS card to output a decent picture to my
TV, and finally gave up, since the TV picture was always poor (it
didn't fill the entire screen, or was curved near the corners of the
screen).

I understand there is some ongoing development to get the MythTV menus
to be displayed via the TV out, but I'm mainly concerned about the
MPEG->TV conversion.  Thanks for any advice,
