Can you test the card under Windows? I ask this because it sounds like it
could be a hardware problem. The PVR-350 support has been stable for ages.
You are using all correct software, firmware and settings so I'm inclined to
think along those lines first. If it works fine under Windows then I'm
definitely interested in looking into this problem.
