I bought mine on ebay. I was a bit afraid that I'd run into trouble to
set it up as it reported but for me it was a real plug n' play
experience. I used Axel's binary ivtv drivers for FC3 but I compile
MythTV from the CVS.

This card reports itself as a pair of PVR-150 on a single PCI card:


I have a working system with a PVR-350 and want to add at least another
tuner. I'm considering the PVR-500 card. How does the interface handle
multiple tuners for watching liveTV? How does the system handle the
remote(s) (for PIP for example)?

It is a dual tuner card, that I am hoping that MythTV will support.
 
The card is sold under the name "WinTV-PVR-500MCE" where MCE is Media 
Center Edition from Microsoft, which I might swith to, if MythTV isnt 
working perfectly.

Anyone got some information about this ?

The PVR500 is supported by the ivtv driver. Hop on over to the ivtv 
mailing list / wiki and you will find lots of info.

http://ivtv.sourceforge.net/


Its not yet fully easy going, so some effort likely to be needed.

Cheers,

Rudy
