I have the above hardware.

I dropped the PVR TV out because:
- The ivtv framebuffer drivers and via v4l drivers didn't play nicely together. 
  This meant that switching tv outputs would invole unloading and reloading drivers
- Accelerated X (Good for MythMusic visualisations etc)
- Accelerated DVD (using viaexp)
- Only slight drop in quality

This also solved the need to route the audio from the pvr-350 to the
Epia sound chip. It also means that I could have got away with a PVR-250
:-)
