Does cat /dev/video0 > /dev/video16 work? When I had my PVR-350 installed it worked fine. However it only accepts mpeg so if you want to write anything else it will fail. I have also read that the framebuffer support in mythtv is not working well and will be ripped out in the next version (correct me if I'm wrong here). > I would think that it would be possible to send some kind of IOCTL to > /dev/video48 (or just close it) then switch to /dev/video16. > For some reason mythtv doesn't want to do this on my setup, it just keeps > using x-video.

The below is what is in the README.devices for /dev/video48. Not sure if this is still accurate. --- The raw video display device(s) Write-only. Only present if the MPEG decoder (i.e. CX23415) exists. Writes a YUV stream to the decoder of the card. Does not currently work. This is on the TODO list but at a low priority. -- > Also the xserver is racing (uses all available cpu). I'm using the one from > the debian site with 2.6.19-gentoo-r4 - amd64.
