PVR350 with ATI Radeon TV out

[bravors]

Newbie at this stage and looking for some setup help. Have purchased a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 card and installed GB-PVR with ease. Everything working until I tried to playback my avi's (all divx or xvid) and the screen is blank athough the PC seems to be trying to play. Have since read on this forum that the PVR350 can't output divx files through its TV out socket which is a bit dissapointing as the live tv is great.

Anyway I have a tv out socket on my Radeon 9800 pro card so think I can use that as a tv out but for the life of me I can't figure out how to tell GB-PVR to use this. I managed to go into my display properties in windows and switch my primary desktop to the TV but surely there is a better way of doing this as it renders my PC screen useless for other things.

Thanks for the help.

go to config>playback>change to none-use software

this will disable the TV out function of the PVR350 and use your video
card for output.

Yeah tried that but nothing on the screen. Thought it would be something to do with the software decoder selection but only have one listed and it doesn't work. Do I need a specific decoder to get gbpvr to use my tv out on the radeon card?

Which one is listed?

No, GB-PVR knows nothing about your tv out on the radeon card (and doesnt need to). This is a feature of your video card drivers. GB-PVR just thinks displaying GB-PVR on your desktop.

are you using the tv to view your desktop?

first leave your a monitor on your video card and select the "none-use software" and see if you can see gbpvr on your desktop. if that works
then your tv out should work. if you can see it on your monitor but the tv out doesn't work it has nothing to do with gbpvr.

have you downloaded catalyst to run your card?

if you can get to this point and need help with the ati stuff ping me back.
you should be able to going under video properties and select your tv monitor.
