I'm using a PVR-500MCE, along with two PVR-250s, one of these is an MCE also. All of these I picked up on ebay. At first, I did have troubles which appeared to be related to IRQ sharing. My box is a Dell GX260, P4 1.8 Ghz. After switching slots a few times, and upgrading the BIOS (A03->A09, quite a jump), everything works together perfectly. Unfortunately, due to frustration and stupidity on my part, I was not very methodical in my testing, so I'm not sure if I finally found the correct IRQ settings, the correct PCI slots, or if the fix was simply due to the BIOS upgrade.
