Check the box that says to use the PVR-350 for output. Even if you have
Xv working, you want this checked.

No. You don't have Xv support enabled for the PVR-350. Make sure
you're using a current version of ivtv (ideally, 0.4.0) and search the
lists for info on installing John Harvey's PVR-350 Xv support.
