This is all really strange. My test box with the pvr-500 in it has been doing dual recordings for a couple of days. I've just scheduled back to back junk for it to record to check and it seems to be doing fine with the things that I've told you about.
Have you installed Windows and WinTV2000? The about dialog box describes the card characteristics, including the tuners and model number. It might be helpful to know if there's a new version of the PVR500 out now.
