From reading
http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=TvOutHowto&highlight=tvout

it looks like just a question of spitting mpeg2 data at /dev/videoXX
having twiddled the right bits with ivtvfbctl.

Hacking freevo to do this should be a quick job. Mostly just setting
the right commands in the freevo local.conf for playing files.

No Xserver required.
