Hi,
As you may have noticed from the list archives I also have a 500MCE in
NZ, from Krome :)
I have gotten further than you, Debian Sarge, 2.4.10 kernel with 0.3.2i
+ palsecam_tveetuner_updates-032i.patch. I can tune stations, but
relatively poor reception and no sound.
My older PVR-250 has been working well for some years with Myth-tv.
Stephen.
