Have you set MythTV to use the PVR-350 as it's output?
Check out this page for details on where to set this and on where to adjust GUI size and over/underscan percentages...

I had a similar issue, about 40 or so horizontal lines were being displayed as I went through the modprobe tests.
(BTW, thanks Jarod! Your guide was a tremendous help to me...)
This part from the guide worked for me:
"If you got video, but there were like 20 to 50 evenly spaced horizontal lines overlaying it, try tweaking the ivtv-fb driver with this command:
/usr/bin/ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -alpha -on -globalalpha -nolocalalpha
Then run the dd test again, and with luck, the picture will look like it should."
Obviously, you should change fb1 to whatever frame buffer your card grabbed...
Thanks. I missed expanding Jarod's How To, so missed that section the first few times. :)
That command did clear the lines from the TV display.
I was subsequently able to get X running out the PVR-350 output.
However, the playback quality is not very good. The picture is over scanning the display some on each edge (cuts off the AM/PM indicator when the time is displayed etc.)
During play back the frame rate does not appear to be fast enough to
prevent it from appearing a little jerky. And there are times that the
picture will freeze briefly during playback.
The dd testing had a picture that looked fairly good, not what I would call full quality but better than the result described above.
I also was surprised that the sound continued to come out the PC audio
ports instead of over the PVR-350 ports.
I will check the guide again to see if I missed expanding another section. :)
