I was actually using the pvr350 tv-out as an x screen, whcih means that
it was being fed by the framebuffer driver. Once I stopped running X
on it and just set up myth, I was able to get decent output. <br>
<br>
Now, my question has shifted to this! When using the pvr350 for video,
the pvr350 gets the audio as well. Is there any way to get the audio
to not be routed to the pvr350? (And yes, I know I could just feed the
audio output of the pvr to my sound card input, but that amounts in my
case to going digital to analog, back to digital, then back to
analog.) I've been told to search the list for mpegpes, which I will
do, but if anyone has particular suggestions about how to do this, I'd
really appreciate hearing them. <br>

rate of the output is way below what it needs to be. After a few
seconds, the video freezes and the audio stutters as the video tries to
keep up.

You must be doing something wrong. TV out with the PVR-350 works
perfectly for me and most people - at least with data it has captured itself.
Basically, does this work for you:
dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 bs=64k
If this gives you dropped frames then there is something wrong with
your hardware or driver setup.
There's other stuff in the readmes and howtos on how to go forward
from that.
stock mplayer is something completely different, as it writes to the
framebuffer device which is too slow in the standard configuration and
behaves as you describe. There's other ways around that, but I don't
know how good they are.
Are you sure you have the PVR-350 support enabled in the myth setup?
chm.
