Ah no, is this broken again?

You're using the pvr350's decoder in PAL?

That's a bug that was fixed a while ago after it has finally been hunted
down to the keyframe distance being hardcoded to NTSC standard. Since
the PVR output calculates the position in the stream from this number it
would be of by about 1/5th for PAL. That is 1/5 of the time after the
last seek.

Search the archives for the last thread. It was something along the
lines of "Wrong time in OSD" or similar.

Since when do you use mythtv with the pvr350? Did you notice it with
prior versions? Did you change anything related to the drivers?

Make sure you are using the right PAL options!

options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 ivtv_pal=1
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0 pal=1

HTH,
