Hi Steve,

the pvr350-plugin uses of course the hardware decoder of the pvr350. No X is 
needed, only the ivtv-fb module. 
As Hans already said, the code I posted only sets the wss bit for the TV.

The plugin-sources from  2007-09-06 do not include this stuff. For now, it is 
only on my test machine. Although it works fine, I don`t want to release a 
new plugin version yet:
- works only with a very current driver (as Hans explained)
- stopping the decoder always disables the VBI signal. I am using the decoder 
stop ioctl for clearing the buffers (necessary for smooth channel switching). 
The result is for example, that the TV goes shortly on 4:3 when you switch 
from one 16:9 stream to another 16:9 stream. I suggested Hans to introduce a 
VIDEO_CLEAR ioctl which only clears the buffers, but not shut down all the 
decoder stuff. 

Greets,
Martin
