[mythtv-users] One last effort. tvout on the pvr350

[James Satterfield]

I've managed to get the pvr350 tvout working very well now. I'm using the
0.1.10pre2-ck65b drivers. The video is *perfect* and I'm quite happy. This
has even fixed the appearance of the menus and seems to prevent the GUI from
drifting around on the screen. Now I only have one big problem.. The picture
is so good, now my tivo looks like crap.

James.
