John, I also have the "live tv blank on exit from guide" problem. And I
have skills and time to help diagnose/fix the problem. Can you share
your thoughts on what's happening?
Mark.

I have a PVR350 and have it setup to run X using the
frame buffer
interface. I also have myth setup to use the "Use
PVR350 decoding"
option. I am using the composite video connector
for tv output and a
DVD player to simulate a video signal from a
satellite box via the
PVR350 svideo input.
One problem when using the PVR350 within myth is
that when leaving the
program guide, live tv takes 10 to 20 seconds to
display again, and in
some cases I have to invoke a menu or
channel-up/down to get live tv
to display again. I have found no reference to this
problem on google
or the mailing list. I would be interested to hear
any ideas on how
to correct this.
There is known problem leaving the menu guide that
causes this problem. There is currently no known
workaround though i have had some ideas recently but
havent had time to investigate them. Since this now
happens for me regularly i may take a look at this
over the next few weeks.
I must say that the picture quality of the PVR350 is
GREAT!
I also have a question about sound. I would like
live tv to use my
sound card rather than the PVR350 sound output so
that mythvideo and
mythmusic all use the same speakers. Is there a way
to do this?
Feed the output of the 350 to the line in of your
sound card and make sure the line in volume is turned
off and that it isn't muted.
My understanding of using the PVR350 for tv output
is that mpeg is fed
into /dev/video16 by mythtv and the menu system and
mplayer output
(mythvideo) uses the frame buffer interface. Is my
understanding
correct?
Yes. The Programe guide problem is caused because this
uses X to then access the frame buffer and the code
switches alpha around to make this happen and timeing
issues cause it to go wrong sometimes.
