I've seen scattered documentation, but nothing that completely discusses
it.

I picked up a WinTV PVR 350 from Hauppauge and have been trying to get
Freevo to accept the TV-out aspect of the card.

The good news is I can configure X to display on the TV and as a result I
can get the navigation menus and such, but playing videos or TV I get a
black screen.

After digging around I See it is trying to use mplayer (even after I've
unconfigured it from my freevo configuration and unloaded tv.mplayer!) and
so I assume there must be some magic told to mplayer to display to the
correct framebuffer.

Anyone have any resources on this topic?  I know the card words because I
can set up the framebuffer via ivtvfbctl to allow for /dev/video16 to
work, and I Can dd if=.. if=/dev/video16 bs=64k.
