The guys at hushtechnologies.com reccomend the following:

via EPIA MII 12000 with a 90 W power supply if you gonna use a PVR350.

I would use the TV-Out on the EPIA board because the TV-Out on the PVR 
adapter has (I was unable to enable it) no XV extensions. XV support is 
needed if yo want to use Mplayer or Xine. Doing without XV support will 
work but stress the processor of the system too much....

If DVD/Mplayer support is not needed -- use the tv-out on the pvr 
adapter (it will use the onboard hardware mpeg decoder)
