Thanks, that got it to near perfection. The programme guide pops up on
the monitor and not the tv, but I guess I can live with that.

The driver I was referring to is ivtvdev, which you only need if you

(if there is such a difference), although it is also required for X to
be displayed on the tv (and I guess for any output through the 350).
But, anyway, after a couple more hours of fiddling: success! Loading a
vesa framebuffer at boot switched the tv-out fb to /dev/fb1 (it was
/dev/fb0 before) and now Mythtv (or should I say /dev/video16) passes on
great quality picture to the tv! And with sound no less!
One thing is still wrong, though... the onscreen stuff of Mythtv is not
visible. So when I change channels, I don't see the name/number etc of
the channel, I cannot see the menus, program guides, etc. I would like
that, otherwise there's no real advantage watching tv through mythtv.
Situation now: mythtv is shown on the monitor, but when you say 'watch
tv' it is switched to the tv (monitor goes blank, but with alt-tab I can
run other programs)
Situation I'd like: mythtv (menu's, recordings, live tv etc) is always
shown on the tv. Does that require getting X to be displayed through the
350's tv-out?
You need to load the ivtv-fb module with the option osd_compat=1
