My problem was caused by the Saa7127 module changing to NTSC whenver it was unloaded and reloaded (it had originally started out correctly in PAL). This was happening when I was testing the test pattern, with the results I was feeding an incompatible signal to my TV. The fix therefore was to skip the test pattern step as I already knew it worked, although I'm not sure that this is applicable to you as you seem to by in NTSC land already. One thing you could try is: /usr/bin/ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -alpha -on -globalalpha -nolocalalpha or /usr/bin/ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -noglobalalpha -localalpha before you start piping video through the PVR 350's TV out. Failing that, what goes in /var/log/messages when you load and reload the Saa7127 module?
