[mythtv-users] PVR-350 tv-out a separate device ?

[Mark L. Cukier]

Franco:

I'm not too sure if this is possible. I don't believe that it is... but 
I'm definitely open to correction if I'm wrong. I believe that the MPEG2 
decoder output is hardwired to the TV outputs of the PVR-350... so 
there's no (easy) way to tap into the decoder output.

I'd love to be wrong about this-- anyone? :-)
