[mythtv-users] Almost there.. PVR 350 w/ X TV OUT Problem. (Fixed)

[rick-myth at perlmonkey.org]

Yup, got it all worked out... I've configured the GUI size to fit the
screen and it's looking pretty good.  I have Myth Up and running and
working w/ the hauppauge remote.  I only have 3 issues left to fix before
I start testing, and hopefully replace my Tivo Series 1 (14 hrs blah...).

1. Myth Fonts are very hard to read.
2. Watch LiveTV is giving me I/O Errors w/ /dev/video.
3. Get lirc working w/ hauppauge remote & homebrew IR trans

Gonna start digging when I get home for work.

Thanks again for the help.
