No, sorry. I had to send the card back for a refund, because of all this
trouble. The shop sent me an email stating that they had sent the card back
to the distributor, so it might actually have been broken. Seems odd with a
brand new card, though.
Have you tried moving the card to another slot?
Thanks for the reply. Not yet, but before I do that I have a spare PVR350 I'm going to try. The problem could be with the riser card or the VT-310DP, so I'll start with the PVR350 plugged directly into the VT-310DP, then into riser card, then the PVR500 direct.
But before I do any of that I'll have to reset the CMOS. I accidently disabled the VGA output in BIOS last night. D'oh!

...and the answer appears to be a little of all of the above.
I had seen a little "PCI2" stencilled above one slot and assumed I had put the card into "PCI1", when in fact I had put it in "PCI3". Putting either the PCR350 or PVR500 in PCI2 works, but can't have both cards in (one in each slot) at the same time.
There's a little jumper on the C146's dual-slot riser card, but absolutely no documentation as to what it's supposed to do. The default setting is "AD30" (AD20-31 are the options). Some alternate settings boot with two cards in place, others don't. Adding a second jumper acts like a bad idea; HDD LED stays on waaaay too long as you wait for bios setup prompt to come up - no damage done. Might as well stick with the default.
Given the existance of active v.s. passive riser cards (see http://mini-itx.com/store/?c=8#p1902) I suspect the C146 ships with a passive and that's why I'm running into problems.
Unfortunately, the PVR500 board is a shade too long to use in the lower PCI2 position in the C146 so I'm "stuck" using the PVR350 only. Oh well, can't win 'em all!
Aside: IVTV 0.4.1 seems to initialize fine with either board (in PCI2) as long as one remembers to copy firmware into the new /lib/firmware location.
Andrew.
