[Recall: I'm trying to get the virtual consoles on my PVR-350's TV-out. X works fine for me on the PVR-350. The 350 is fb0, and as far as I know, it's the only framebuffer device I have.]

There have been posts on that in the past. This last paragraph suggests that it should work without an initrd, but that I would just miss the boot messages. If this is the case, I'd like to get it working before rebuilding my kernel with an initrd. But so far, no luck. I tried putting "vga=792" on the boot command line, and this made the console disappear from my monitor, but didn't make it appear on my TV, even after ivtv_fb has loaded. Do I need to do something to reinitialize the virtual consoles after ivtv_fb has loaded? I'm using 0.2.0 rc3d with kernel 2.6.10.
