That's funny, I posted the same question to ivtv-users and they said it 
was not likely to be an ivtv problem and I should ask mythtv-users! :)

In any case, you're both right. The error was between keyboard and 
chair. I was using VNC to access the mythtv box while I'm setting it up. 
If I select the option "Use PVR-350 Hardware MPEG Decoder" (however that 
option is phrased), then VNC displays a black screen. However, the 
S-Video output from the 350 shows the correct image.

Obviously, (in retrospect) VNC knows nothing about the 350 MPEG decoder 
and cannot display the image created. Mea Culpa.

Thanks for the reply, Nick.
