[edit] Description

The PVR350 plugin enables the TV-out of the Hauppauge PVR350 as output device for VDR. In system without FF DVB cards, the PVR350 can be an alternative to DXR3 card, but with a better OSD.

• newest ivtv driver
• FFMPEG
• Analogtv-plugin (optional)

tar xvzf ffmpeg-<VERSION>.tar.gz
cd ffmpeg-<VERSION>
./configure --prefix=/usr/local \

ldconfig

If using the analogtv-plugin, in it's setup the "PVR350 TV out" has to be enabled. See plugin installation
