Thanks Jeff -- Do I need to do this to just get video out on my 350? As
mentioned, I saw quite a few folks post about getting X working on their
350--I thought that having normal vid-out working was a requirement. Are
you saying its the other way around? I need X working (and/or installed)
to get vid-out working?

To get X working (myth menus, dvds, videos, etc), you need to install
the X driver from ivtv and set it up in xorg.conf:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/XV_on_PVR-350
To get recordings, videos, etc to work, you can just go into the
frontend setup and under TV playback, check the box for "use PVR-350
MPEG decoder" or similar.
You can test that without myth by typing the following command (and
substituting a real mpg file instead of test.mpg):
cat test.mpg > /dev/video16
