I have been struggling to get my TV-out working on ivtv (installed on Ubuntu Feisty). Mythtv works fine, so ivtv is installed correctly. (I can use my 'other' TV-output which converts VGA to Composite. The quality of this picture is acceptable, but not great; I know the 350's TV-out is much better). I can give the following information: 1) As soon as I connected the TV-out cable to the 350 and the TV, I got a black screen on the TV. This means it is sending a signal, because the screen is blue when the TV is not getting any signal at all. 2) I live in Europe, and need a PAL(-B/G) signal. 3) I played around with some old (!) information from http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=TvOutPal and http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=TvOutHowto which instructs what lines to add to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases (I think thats the Ubuntu equivalent of /etc/modules.conf). Long story short, some combination of lines (which I cannot remember and have not been able to reproduce) gave a crystal clear TV-output with MythTV (which I set up to use /dev/video16). However: no sound and no overlay (for example, when I activated the program guide, it would not appear on the screen). I remember examining the output of dmesg and it seemed the lines I was adding to aliases contained syntaxes that were not (or no longer) recognized. Which line/command was the magic one to enable the TV-out, I cannot tell. 4) I restored my original aliases file, but added install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb as suggested in http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/IVTV_Install and updated the modules and rebooted. By chance I noticed some text flashing on the TV while rebooting! Now, If I press cntrl-alt-f1 my monitor goes blank and I see the terminal on the TV. Also when booting into recovery mode, I see the messages floating by on my monitor until it hits ivtv0-fb, after which the output switches to the TV. *In this situation, when I watch TV on MythTV, I get a black screen with the terminal covering almost all of the screen. Only at the edges I see a TV-picture. Also, still no sound. * 5) When I do: sudo rmmod saa7127, the tv-screen goes blue, as expected. 6) Current output of dmesg: [ 16.543497] ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== [ 16.543500] ivtv: version 0.10.1 (tagged release) loading [ 16.543501] ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.20-15-generic SMP mod_unload 586 [ 16.543503] ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between [ 16.543504] ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with [ 16.543506] ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist.
