Hi, There, you see you do have the same tuners as me. Even though yours are Rev D391 they are still FQ1216AME MK4 tuners and I suspect until they get supported you will never have a "good" picture. I also suspect that nearly all PAL PVR500 cards will have the same tuners.
I had the same problem with selecting PAL_B as well and used a different version of AMCAP which enabled me to switch them over and after that it was sweet using AMCAP or the other program to display live TV. I think the name of the other program was like AMCAP32 or something. Google for AMCAP and see what comes up, that's what I did. Conclusion: Until Tuner #91 is supported or another tuner module is made compatible then its really a waste of time. I am very fussy about picture quality.
