Thanks a lot for the tips. 

I used the cx25840 patch and the image quality improved significantly! But the 
color issues are still there (absence of red colors). I also have issues with 
changing channels which usually doesn't work. I my log files I find error 
messages saying something about firmware timeout. I then plugged my card into 
my ancient wintendo, and there the pvr-350 works perfectly. No color issues. 
No issues when changing channels.

Any more hints?
