Check that the ivtv driver detects your PVR-500 as two PVR-150s. Check that you can get data from both tuners by doing a cat /dev/videoX test.mpg, where X is first 0, and then 1. If not, then it's an ivtv problem. Also, check that in the MythTV setup that you used Tuner 0 for both /dev/video0

Normal video cards typically do 640x480 or 800x600 as typical modes your allowed to run the tv out on. Of the two 640x480 is pretty close the the 720x480 that is the NTSC standard. Of course the 720 doesn't mean alot. Dish network, for instance, uses 480x480 encoding. (This is all from my
