My understanding of this is that if you only have a PVR-500 you would need to have 81-0 and 81-1 in the modprobe.conf file. In my case I have a PVR-350 as well. Did you try putting 81-0 and 81-1 in your modprobe.conf? Please note I am still trying to get my PVR-500 to work as expected so I may have this completely wrong. :)
