[mythtv-users] X over PVR-350 TV Out (possible or just a myth?)

[John Harvey]

Check the ivtv-dv list for my latest ivtv patch. Or as a workaround before
starting X send some small amount of output to /dev/video16.

dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 bs=64k count=1

Either of these "should" fix this problem, though I would recommend the
patch approach.
