Sounds like you're going for a very complex setup.  To keep it simple, I
would keep all the tuner cards in the backends and do the viewing on the
dedicated frontends.  If you also plan on watching from one of the
backends, then you could go with a PVR350, but keep in mind that the
TV-OUT support for the PVR350 is still a work in progress and has only
recently gotten stable.
