The 500 is supported by ivtv, and the 500 is really 2 x 150. The 150 card is supported. You will need the latest driver that is the svn repository. Check out the ivtv wiki for details.

Re: K8 Mainboard addition
It's not an amd64 box, but I've been using a pvr-250 for years. Works great under linux. I'd suggest mythtv if you want to make a tivo like unit. If you are recording videos, I'd recompress it with mencoder before putting it on a dvd. As the pvr-250 produces streams with mismatched a/v streams. The mpeg container has timestamps so most players fix this. However most dvd creation software doesn't, resulting in very frustrating broken streams. Some editors even crash. The problem is inflamed with old camera footage. Also get the non MCE edition, so you get the remote right? As far as I know that works great in linux too. MD - Original Message - From: A. P.

No kidding. What a wonderful little tool. Especially the a-i option. Athlon64 3800+ X2 : Finally [EMAIL PROTECTED] at an affordable price. Couple of things which are of small annoyance: 1. Abit hasn't released any spec on the uGuru chip, but I have found some small program to atleast read the sensors. It would be _so_ nice to do realtime OC'ing. 2. SATA spindown is broken, atleast I believe so when reading the kernel lists and hearing my 4 SATA disk spinning on full spaad all day long. I know the libata developers are working on adding support for sending low level commands to sata disks for things like smart monitoring and spin down and such. I am fairly sure it isn't supported yet. 3. Sound cannot be captured directly from the PCTV Pro using btaudio - because of bad wiring? Ehm, input muted on sound card maybe? No idea. 4. The hardware sound controls on my USB-headset (a Plantronics GameCom Pro) is not working - alsamixer works fine... Well if the headset follows usb sound standards for the audio part, it will work fine. Any buttons on it are likely proprietary and would need a driver written to handle them. That probably isn't a standard part of the usb audio specification. 5. My Plextor DVD-burner hickups sometimes usning mkisofs/growisofs - reports busy device or something like that. Do you have the latest firmware on the drive? My plextors work great, although I did have a hickup early on with one of them when using older firmware. A firmware update fixed that. Fortunately that can be done from linux. A couple of questions: 1. I'm thinking of buying a SATA controller to put in one of the PCI Express X1 slots. Chipset is SiL3132. Is the support OK in recent kernels? It is not supported in 2.6.8 or 2.6.12. It has experimental support in the libata patch for 2.6.13-rc7 though. Not sure if it is included in any released kernel yet. 2. I'm thinking of changing the PCTV Pro to a Hauppauge! WinTV PVR500 MCE. Anyone know if the support in ivtv is OK for this card?
