I have the same thing, currently running Myth on a FC4 box, was using 
the PVR-350 for both input and output, and had the same "shifted to the 
left" problem. No biggie really if you're only using it for Myth, once 
you've dragged a few icons across to the middle of the screen. Bit 
annoying if you want to use the menus tho (tho having said that, the 
menus at that low a resolution aren't the best experience in the world ..)

Regarding running it in window, I found that the frontends setup GUI 
size and offset options did the trick in terms of getting the frontend 
centered.
Up until about 7 days ago that's how I was running mine, I changed it 
recently to use my Geforce 5600 as I installed Stepmania (it wants/needs 
OpenGL) and wanted to try it on the TV (looks great if anyone's 
interested!).
Currently I've got a copy of the xorg.conf with the 350 as the display, 
and one with the 5600 as the display, simple matter of copying whichever 
I want to use over the current xorg.conf and restarting X when I need to 
switch.
