It's fixed in 2.6.19 (the tuner autodetect, that is).

Since it also fails under Windows I'd say you have a broken PVR-350.
Quite rare for a PVR350 (usually it is the PVR500), but it happens. One
other possibility is overheating: these cards can get hot so make sure
there is enough airflow. And sometimes it is a powersupply that is not
powerful enough. But my bet is on overheating or a bad card.
