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).

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.

Make sure ivtvdev really gets loaded ok and xv is available. Check if
XV is available with: xdpyinfo | grep XV
