Are you sure your PAL/NTSC settings are the way they should? Have you
the same problem if you cat /dev/video0 > ttt.mpg and then play the file
using mplayer/xine? Need to figure out first if it is a myth problem or
ivtv (and, of course you need to eliminate the possibility of hardware
problems).
I have not heard of bad 350's out there and since you just set up this
box I would venture to say that your settings are off.
