[mythtv-users] 350 TV works. Now, I'd like to switch back briefly...?

[David W]

Seems to this idiot user that once I got my 350 TV-out working, then if I
want to NOT use TV-out and watch on my PC LCD instead, I should just tell
myth via the TV setup to not use the PVR350 <uncheck the box>.  But when I
do this I get only a black display on my PC LCD.

myfrontend reports this, which seems like it's right:

I thought perhaps ivtv-fb was loaded and maybe that was screwing things up
but:

lsmod <some snipping>

Is it maybe related to saa7127?  I'm befuddled <obvious, huh?>
