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?
