TV-Out of the Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350

The Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 has a TV-Out that can be used to output Freevo to a TV device. For this to work you need to load the ivtvfb module, which is part of the kernel since version 2.6.24. With this module you can use the TV-Out as a standard framebuffer device for X11. You also need to install xorg-video-ivtv.

After successfully loading ivtvfb, you need to edit your xorg.conf file:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
        Driver "ivtv"
        Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
        Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
        Option "XVideo" "1"
        BusID "PCI:01:08:0"
EndSection

For a PAL:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "PAL Monitor"
        HorizSync 30-68
        VertRefresh 50-120

                HTimings 720 775 799 800
                VTimings 576 590 592 593

        EndMode
EndSection

EndSection
