Is there a way to make the Happauge Win TV PVR 350's TV out display all the menus. (ie the guide and main menu... ect)?

Thanks,
Alex.

Yes. During the install process R5C7 will ask you, "do you want to enable your pvr-350's TV-output?" Simply answering "yes" to this question will do what you want.

Or as root run That should do the same thing.

Also do not use the bootsplash feature.

I have it set like that already, i dont know about the boot splash thing but all it is showing on the screen are the status displays when you are watching tv. I cant get it to show the guide on the TV. Does my monitor need to be un pluged?

Appreaently not.

Enabling bootsplash would prevent X from loading. Your problems are not related to bootsplash.

I can't really follow what you are saying. What is "the screen"? Is that your TV or your monitor?

If you select "yes" to enable the pvr-350's tv-out during the install, then the entire X desktop will only be displayed on the TV. Your monitor hooked to the videocard will show boot up messages then freeze when X starts.

That would make no differance.

Let me try to explain better...

When i start myth i see can see the entire (myth) menu system on my computer monitor but nothing on my tv. When i begin using the tuner my computer monitor goes blank and i see the video on my TV. When i change channels on the tuner i see the status window pop up and let me know what i am watching. However as soon as i attempt to use the guide (or go to the main menu) the video on the TV goes slightly grey and the guide shows up on the computer monitor.

I want everything to show on the TV, and not have to use the computer monitor for anything... is this possible?

Thanks,
Alex.

Are you a troll? I have already told you exactly how to do what you want. Either:

What you have done so far is check "use pvr-350 hardware playback" in the mythTV setup menu. This is not the same thing as what I have told you to do.
