[mythtv-users] Stripey TV Out on Pundit for xv overlay

[Nicholas Drouet]

Hi,

I am now the proud owner of an Asus Pundit with a 2.8 Ghz P4 and 512 MB, 
plus a PVR350 (which requred some case modding to fit). Before I bought 
this case, I spent some time getting the framebuffer out  working on the 
PVR350 before I bought the Pundit and found the PVR350 to be very jerky 
when played back thru my TV. 

So, I tried to get the TV out on the Pundit working. After working out the 
right parameters to get the XV overlay working on CRT2 (my TV), I can get 
Mplayer and thus mythTV to output a DVD to my TV. Unfortunately the 
picture has a number of vertical stripes across the screen where it looks 
like the colours are messed up and a lot of snow in the picture. I've 
tried on 2 TV sets with both composite and SVideo and I get the same 
result. The rest of the X desktop is fine and I'm quite happy with how 
stable the picture appears to be via svideo, but its unwatchable via the 
TV out due to this corruption on the TV. 

I've tried both the SIS driver that comes with Fedora Core 1, and the 
driver on the winshhofer.net site (the binary, not built from source). Has 
anyone had this problem before? I've tried both PAL and NTSC outputs from 
the svideo (my TV is multisystem) and the same problem occurs.
