Yes I was using ivtv-tune.

I am in the us and tried us-cable freq. I testing with tuning channels 2-10
on cable and only got 5 and 6. The frequency reported back looks like it
agrees with the frequencies table I found online.

I am wondering if there is anything special about this pvr-500. It came
build into an HP dec Z558 system.

Any ideas on what to try next? Thanks for the help.

I assume you are using ivtv-tune to select a channel. Did you select the
correct frequency table? I suspect that is simply the problem.
