[mythtv-users] How do you compile with support for TV Out on PVR 350?

[James Pifer]

So, is it fair to say that if I can get ivtv installed and can see a
device /dev/video16 that TV Out would then probably work with MythTV? Or
is that assuming too much? I'm dealing with NTSC so I don't have to
worry about the other part. 

Right now I don't have a video16 even though I have decoder_alpha
installed. 

Thanks,
James
