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 On 12/13/05, Erwan Arzur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hey, > > i've been trying both options (NVidia TV-OUT and the PVR-350), and the > PVR is indeed of > much better quality. > > I would not advise anyone to drop it in favor of any card TV-OUT.
