Thanks to all and especially Torsten Schenkel (see 
http://www-isl.mach.uni-karlsruhe.de/~hi93/myth/)

I connect both, the TV-Out of my PVR350 and the TV-Out of my ATI Rage128 to 
my TV and configure X to use this devices (see my /etc/X11/XF86Config):

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier  "PAL Monitor"
	HorizSync  30-68
	VertRefresh 50-120
	Mode "720x576"
		DotClock 41.476
		HTimings 720 752 840 928
		VTimings 576 580 584 600
		Flags    "-HSync" "-VSync"
	EndMode
EndSection
Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
	Driver	"ivtvdev"
	Option	"fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
	BusID	"PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
	Identifier  "TV Screen"
	Device      "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
	Monitor     "PAL Monitor"
	DefaultDepth 24
	DefaultFbbpp 32
	Subsection "Display"
		Depth 24
		FbBpp 32
		Modes	"720x576"
	EndSubsection
EndSection

In the mythfrontend I configure (as descriped in this thread) the usage of 
the PVR encoder through /dev/video16.
