I currently have a PVR-150  with ivtv-0.8.1 and kernel-2.6.18 and I'm
happy with the quality of the picture. I'm thinking about returning
the PVR-150 and getting a PVR-500 instead of getting a second PVR-150
to save a PCI slot. Is the difference in quality between the cards
still noticeable?


If you are unlucky and buy a card that does not like a strong signal the
answer is yes. There is no
quality difference in patched kernels. The main difference is the patch is
in 2.6.18 kernels so you
automatically get it with ivtv-0.8.X and not applied in lower versions of
the kernel.

If so, is this a driver issue that is likely to be
fixed in the future?


I do not think so. And since the devs do not have proper documentation on
these cards if it
were a driver issue (which I do not believe so) it will be difficult to fix.
