I wouldn't say, "There's nothing that can be done about that right 
now."  I got an NVIDIA GF4MX440 and it solved the problem.  ;)

Now, you could say, "There's nothing that can be done about that right 
now if you want to continue to use the TV out on your PVR-350, which 
doesn't support XvMC, OpenGL, output to anything with newer than 50-year 
old technology (i.e. non-NTSC outputs like VGA/DVI/etc.)."
