[mythtv-users] Watching Recordings on TV instead of PC Monitor

It appears now I have hit another new problem I can't seem to figure out.

I have the PVR350 card with DirecTV going to the tuner of the card. I
have recorded several shows. When I go to play them back (Media
Library -> Watch Recordings) it plays it back to my PC monitor instead
of the TV. I have the options setup under Utilities/Setup -> Setup ->
TV Settings -> Playback to use the PVR350's TV out / MPEG decoder. The
device is set to /dev/video16 and I have the TV audio through PVR350
only box selected (I can use the TV remote to adjust the volume). I
also have the Enable OpenGL vertical sync for timing box selected. As
I understood it, that is all I needed in order to watch my recordings
on the TV. But for some reason it isn't working. It is playing them on
my PC monitor.

When I go to Watch TV, it plays it on the TV just fine. This only
happens when I want to play back my recorded shows.

At one point this worked because I watched one show when I first got
everything setup. But now for some reason it isn't working. I'm
wondering if something kicked in when I rebooted that made it stop
working. Anyone have any ideas what I can do to get it back playing on
the TV screen?
