The tuner problems I reported earlier for an old PVR-250 on my nforce2- and nforce5-based motherboards was in fact a fault with the pvr card itself. As I posted to this list a little while ago, I purchased a new PVR-150 card and it works in my nforce2-based setup. I have now transplanted the new PVR-150 into my nforce5-based motherboard and it is working fine there as well.
