Well i read some very good post like this:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... highlight=
My /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv is like this:
Code:
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
#alias char-major-81-1 bttv
#options ivtv ivtv_pal=1
alias /dev/v4l ivtv
options ivtv debug=1 ivtv_pal=1 tuner=28
options tuner pal=1
#options tuner type=28 #<-- insert what you found out earlier
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0 pal=1
#options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 standard=0x8
#options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0 pal=1 #<- remove pal=1 for NTSC
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c ivtv-fb
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0xff
My /etc/init.d/set_ivtv_params looks like this:
Code:

My hardware setup is antenna in i the TV input of the PVR350 and the tv-out from PVR350 plugged into the television scart. A picture here of the backside of my pundit:

After a fresh reboot i did this:
#ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -noglobalalpha -localalpha
and this:
#dd if=/dev/video of=/dev/video16 bs=64k
and i got the following surprise in my TV:
http://icedfire.mine.nu/unixthings/myth ... ut_web.jpg
Then i did the following:
#ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -globalalpha -nolocalalpha -alpha 0
To run `ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -globalalpha -nolocalalpha -alpha 0` as the mythtv user do as root:
# chmod 666 /dev/fb1
And i began to watch TV through the PVR!
The last thing is to get the X-server pointing to the TV and some other small stuff!
I have to thx the people in this forum that keep posting such a good tips and hints to help each other.
Update: 040814
I got the master plan working! This was my goals:
1) Install Mythtv (Knoppmyth did it for me, Amazing job done by folks@knoppmyth!!!!)
2) Configure mythtv and use the tv-out of my PVR350 for the best quality in other words: use the PVRs decoder to watch TV/DVD.
3) Point the X-Server to use the same output: PRV350s tv-out
I am very glad that this forums exists otherwise this project had been impossible to manage to a happy end.
Here is how it looks in my little TV.
I really hope that it will work for my WideScreen TV.
