[mythtv-users] PVR-350 TV out problem

[John Harvey]

Sorry that should have been more like :- (assuming you haven't been told
this elsewhere

/usr/bin/ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -alpha -on -globalalpha -nolocalalpha

Or /dev/fb0 as appropriate.

Sorry tried to reply from memory and it doesn't always work :)
