The documentation on the old wiki still references very old ivtv
drivers, I'm sure a lot of work isn't required.

Could someone who has a PVR350 update the new wiki?

http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php?title=Howto:TV_out&action=edit

There's a few other PVR350 specific things that need adding too if
anyone is game:

http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php?title=Howto:xdriver
http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php?title=Howto:Framebuffer
http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php?title=Howto:TV_passthrough

Thanks,

Ross
