I too am affected by the bad lowband performance on tuner 0 of the PVR500.  Thanks to this list I was able to get the patch and compile the kernal modules to get it to even work in the first place so I could even figure out that I am affected.  Thank you all for that.  For a while, I thought I or my box was going crazy. 

Either way, I would be more than willing to help out anyway that I can with finding a solution to lowband issue.  If anyone can tell me how to gather i2c logs from the card in Windows I can try to do it as I have a windows machine laying around.  Though i have a feeling it isn't an easy process.   I am sure I am not the only one willing to offer assistance, but I just wanted to say it here. 

Thanks again.

Fortunately most of these problems except for the issue of bad lowband
performance on tuner 0 will go away with 2.6.16, which according to Hans has
the patches for Samsung TCPN tuner support integrated.  Solving the bad
lowband
performance issue will most likely require a lot of trial and error or someone
obtaining complete i2c logs from a recent PVR-500 on a Windows box (which does
not exhibit bad lowband performance on tuner 0.)

The end conclusion is:  Do not try to use precompiled RPMs for a PVR-500 with
the new Samsung tuner, at least not with kernel 2.6.15 + ivtv 0.4.2.
