for this particular setup, why not go with a PVR350?

Ok, but how do I get all of MythTV on the video out of the PVR-350?

In my (limited) understanding, I can see the MythTV menus on my
desktop CRT monitor.  As soon as I select "Watch TV" then the
desktop CRT monitor goes blank and the TV monitor displays the TV content.

When I hit the "esc" key on the keyboard to stop watching TV then my
TV monitor goes blank and the desktop CRT monitor comes back with
the MythTV menus.

So I am toggling between the (navigation) desktop CRT monitor and the
(content) TV monitor.

I just want all of it on the TV monitor.

I don't mind if the desktop CRT monitor is still connected and out of sight.
I will turn it on once in a while for maintenance.
