Actually, CRT is a VGA monitor. You are seeing something on your tv
because the pc automaticly detects that you have a tv connected.

What you are seeing is tvout trough the framebuffer video driver. This
works fine to get your desktop on your tvout but doesn't have
accellerated (Xv) output that is needed for video playback.
To use your pundit-r with mythtv you will need the binary ati driver
(actually the previous one and do some hex editting to get the tvout
working).
Or you could get the PVR350 as you mention and use that tvout. That will
also need some tweaking to get it working and for now you can't use the
PVR350 tvout to get decent DVD or divx playback.
