It used to be in there but the document changes and I notice bits that are
in my printed version of 2005-01-10 are no longer present online.

What I found in JarodĀ“s site only references nVidia and the on-board TV-OUT, 
but not for the PVR-350.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

Hi!
I was finally able to get all of the necessary components installed and 
operational on my MythTV.  What I need to do next is to setup the TV-OUT 
feature for my pvr-350.  Where can I find a good, recent guide?
 

Jarods Guide is still nicely up-to-date (try chapter10):
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php
A doubt I have is whether I will be able to use the SPDIF audio output on my 
motherboard for the audio once I setup the TV-OUT.
 

Erm. Yes and No. There are two path to the PVR's TV-Out. First is 
through the hardware decoder on the PVR350, the second is through X onto 
the framebuffer of the 350 (the framebuffer was originally designed to 
be used as the OSD, but we rule!)

Thus,
If you want to use the hardware decoder: Then Yes, because the audio 
(two channels) will be included in the TV-out.
If not: Then the picture goes to through X and it's all about getting 
linux to do the SPDIF thing, which I have absolutely no experience with.

Once TV-OUT is setup, my next step will be to add the additional MythTV 
modules... in particular MythDVD.  Will I by able to get the Dolby 5.1 
through my motherboard on-board SPDIF once TV-OUT is enabled?
 

The hardware decoder does not accept the DVD format, so you'll have to 
pipe the image through X and onto the 350's framebuffer.

Hope this helps...
