What are your problems? Is it compiling? Is modprobe ivtv working? Do
you have the firmware? What gets reported in /var/log/messages?

I have one working, but I might be running 9.2. I am using 0.3.6w.
I have a PVR-350 and a PVR-500MCE. I found that the driver recognizes
the 350 as the first card and the 500 as the second and third cards.
I think that one 500 looks like two cards to the ivtv driver.

The important pars of my /etc/modprobe.conf.local are as follows:
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
alias char-major-81-2 ivtv

options cx25480 i2c_enable=-1,1,1
options saa7127 i2c_enable=1,-1,-1

I extracted the firmware. I have HcwMakoA.ROM, ivtv-fw-dec.bin and
ivtv-fw-enc.bin in /lib/modules. I read that this location changed
between 9.2 and 9.3. See
http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=PVR150-500Firmware for
more information.
