Yes, you can use your pvr-350 like if it were a nvidia card with tvout if you install xorg framebuffer driver (or something similar). I'm using it and the quality is very nice. :) -- Oscar Curero - Linux user: 306877 --GPG keyID: 0xE0EA0B24-- ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] WinTV PVR-350 - Do I still need a video out card?
You can use the 350 to handle all your X output as well. Jarod's guide tells you how to do it in Fedora. The only problem is the overscan. You will lose the edges of your desktop area since the TV (deliberately) cuts it off. If you're using your computer for more than Myth, it would get annoying, however I find it completely usable for all myth-related activities. In fact, I'm ready to pull the video card completely from my machine and use only the 350.

[mythtv-users] WinTV PVR-350 - Do I still need a video out card?
I know a lot of people have used a 350 in their MythTV setup. I'm currently using a 250 with a nVidia based card for video out. I'm thinking of getting a 350 and slapping it in the same MythTV box so i can view and record at the same time. But if I get a 350 will I no longer require the video out features on my video card? Ideally i'd like to remove the nVidia card and replace it with something cheap. But i'm afraid the Video Out on the 350 will only work for watching TV or only within MythTV. I'm hoping it just works like any other video card with TV out but when the hauppage website states that it requiers a video card with direct draw to function I get a little scared.
