Hello Pascal and others I notice the same like you. everything you explain about setting "-l" and the picture results are the same here. I have the same configuration as you, a PVR350 and a PVR500 with the same model numbers. I live in Switzerland. A friend of mine, we bought at the same time, has the same problems, although we don't have the same system. Also three other mailinglist users reported to me that they have problems with the PVR350 TV-out and module number: 48139
I spent, like you, a long time to figure out things. Tried many versions. Everywhere the same results. I developer could shed some light into this problem.

When using wintv2000 the television reports S-Video. When hot-rebooting from windows to linux I also have S-Video. The first call to ivtvctl -l 2 and or -l 0 the picture shows a vertical pattern. Calling -l 1 the picture gets black. Afterwards setting -l 2 or -l 0 returns the picture in Composite. Definitely the supplied 9-pin to scart only supports Composite. The supplied 9-pin to S-Video/(Composite)/L/R works for S-Video. More information can be found in my previous post below.
