I feel your pain. I had similar lockups using the PVR-350's decoder. I could run with no problem when using my onboard nvidia to output to the monitor. But whenever I tried to use the TV-OUT of the 350 I would get a hard lockup usually within one or two hours of watching live TV. I tried everything for about two weeks but could not get it working.
By chance, I was swapping the DVD drive on my myth box and left the case cover off. I let the PVR-350 run for a couple of hours with no lockup. Within an hour after replacing the cover my box locked up again. I started to consider overheating as a strong possibility. Googling around I found that the 350 decoder runs very hot and can cause the same type of lockups when using the WinTV2000 application in WinXP. So I installed a slot fan next to the 350 which pulls air directly off the decoder and out the back of the box. I haven't had a lockup in over 24 hours of watching live tv since. I have a low-profile htpc case (Silverstone LC11) which uses a PCI riser card to install the cards horizontally. I originally had the 350 in the lower slot which had it placed very close to (almost touching) the motherboard. To make matters worse, the expansion slots are very close to the power supply. I could feel that this area of the case was warm to the touch when I had the decoder running. Now with the slot fan, it is much cooler. Anyway, this may not be your problem, but you may want to try cooling your 350 down and see if anything changes.
