Just to follow up, this did turn out to be a bad PVR-350 card. I had it replaced and the new one worked fine. Thanks for the reply! Joe

So if the old card uses a saa7127 and the new one a saa7129 then you need to use kernel 2.16.16.12 or up. Or apply the misc/saa7127.diff patch by hand. Still, it's somewhat unlikely that this would completely hang the computer, usually it just results in bad TV-out quality.
