Search the mythtv archives here - it'll be much more productive for you:

Work on XV support in the 350 drivers is moving quite well at the
moment, but it still isn't quite there (should hopefully just be a
matter of time though). You can keep track on the ivtv list here:

Overscan support on the 350 is not currently supported. Again, this
may (hopefully) be added to the driver in the future.

I've seen reports of others having the same issue. I use a script like
this, and have repeat set to 4, and get only one instance of the
frontend. Maybe another used can shed some light on this one.
