[mythtv-users] EPIA M10000+PVR-350+NO TvOut = slow?

[Maverick]

Did you set the other option in mythfrontend's setup to use the PVR350
HARDWARE DECODER? This one got me for an hour the other day setting up
my first Myth box.

It's normal if you're just trying to use X's screen output, normal TV
out on the PVR 350 is full frame rate.
