xine -V xshm will do that.
Anyways, it is too slow. I use xine -V dxr3 to play all tv-out from my dxr3 
from now. Unfortunately I don't think mythtv can do this.
For now I'll stick to the dxr3 for daily use untill ivtv becomes more stable 
and functional. in the meantime I test the latest drivers and provide some 
feedback where possible hoping it wil be helpful to get a good driver 
eventually. I did use mplayer one time to use the pvr-350 output. It wasn't 
fast enough, but I'll try that again to see if it's any better than mythtv.
btw, using the dxr3 I can play all video that xine can decode. xine uses 
encoding to mpeg1 to play non-mpeg files on a dxr3 (needs to be compiled in).

Marcel.
