In my experience, the PVR-350's TV Out was very poor (10fps or less)
for non-MPEG2 data, as it was using the very slow framebuffer in the
PVR-350.  This was on Myth 0.18 I think, with a P4 2.4GHz processor.
It may be that the software has since improved and will convert the
data to MPEG2 on the fly for the PVR350, but I can't say either way.
