[mythtv-users] PVR-350 TV-out

[Tony Paterra]

Let me preface with I have spent numerous hours on this project and
specifically trying to get this last part working so I apologize if I
haven't been able to find something in the archives as the search
strings I've tried haven't netted me much!  Any help would be greatly
appreciated as I am really excited to see this in action.

My current setup:

Software
MythTV v0.16
ivtv v0.2.0-rc2q
Slackware 9.1

Hardware
Athlon 1200
PVR-350 (input is rg-6 coax)

I am noticing the following behaviors:
-If I use ivtvfbctl and dd video0 -> video16 I have fine live video
with audio and can use ptune-ui.pl to change channels.

-I am able to display X on the TV screen through the TV-out on the
PVR-350 by su'ing to root and starting x so I am assuming my XFConfig
is ok.

The problem I am having is that when I start myth up and want to use
it for LiveTV.  It doesn't have sound and the framerate/resolution are
very low so I'm guessing it isn't using the decoder on the PVR-350's
TV-out.  Below are my log files as well as my dmesg.

You likely won't get any video.

* Couldn't find Xv support, falling back to non-Xv mode.
* MythTV performance will be much slower since color
* conversion and scaling will be done in software.
* Consider upgrading your video card or X server if
* you would like better performance.
