ok, I made some significant progress..but still not there..

here is what I did..

1. rmmod ivtv

2. Re-did the compile steps of ivtv at http://ivtv.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html#_jump09a

3. then did the manual loading documented here: http://ivtv.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html#_jump10

now..on a hunch...the documentation mentions nothing about loading the ivtv-fb....
so I figured what the hell, and did: 

insmod ivtv-fb.o

that worked, I saw fb0: etc...message in /var/log/messages

4. Back to main thread: My first attempt at PVR-350 TV-out "howto"

where I followed the steps from:
mmod saa7127 
down to the dd test (the color test bars worked, etc)

I now have audio working!!! but...no video
note: (i have been using /dev/video0 instead of /dev/video)

note: I can capture video/audio..Just cannot get the video to output on the tv.

Now to start resanning the emai archives for tvout no video, but have audios...heh..
