Wow, that's pretty bad.

If you take the DVB card off-line, then it's fine, right?
Sounds like a driver issue to me...

Yes, i'm keeping that as my second option, but i'd like to avoid it if
possible. Like you said, there are quality issues with that setup.

If i would use an HDTV set for display, that would be different, of
course. But on normal, interlaced, analog TV sets, a "true" TV-out such
as the one on the PVR-350 is a must if you don't wanna lose quality.
