I am no linux or ivtv expert and I don't use Knoppmyth, but here is a quick summary of how I got the PVR-500 (and another PVR-150 in the same computer) to work.
I have had no luck with the PVR-150/500 support in the standard 0.2.x ivtv, so per Jarod's instructions, I download the testing version of ivtv from ATRPMS(currently version 0.3.7d which I upgraded to with no problems). The problem is that this downloads the latest, unstable firmware. I find I have more luck if I downgrade the firmware per the instructions at this site: http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=PVR150-500Firmware and http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=FirmwareVersions Also, there is a little "feature" to be aware of. For some reason, the cards need some time to "take" the new firmware. So after you downgrade the firmware, leave the computer off for a minute or so, then restart. I've also noticed that sometimes the audio on the 2nd input (which in my case is the 1st tuner on the PVR-500) doesn't work. Again, power down, wait a minute or more, and it will work (repeat if it doesn't but it has everytime for me). In any case, this gets my PVR-500 and PVR-150 to work (via tuners only, I haven't tried the s-video or composite inputs). Hope this helps!
