I don't have PVR's, but my guess is that yes you can.  The dd if=
might be able to play if you have dd if=/wherever/the/file/lives.nuv

But, I'm just guessing, I've never toyed with or played with a
PVR-350.  Hopefully someone will come along and tell you what you need
to do, if anything, to get this working.
