It's working!

In mythfrontend I unchecked 
"Use the PVR-350's TV out / MPEG Decoder" located

Settings.  I now have video on my computer display.  

Thank-you for your offer of help.  Just knowing that it
should work and that someone was willing to help took the
pressure off enough so I could work on it some more.

Thanks,
