It is extremely unfortunate that there are many different cards out  
there all called "PVR-150". I have four "PVR-150", 3 of which have  
the same tuners and the fourth has a different one.

I got around that by simply using the "odd man out" for the baseband  
output of my satellite receiver, so the fact that the tuner is not  
properly recognized if no import.

It's been discussed here before about different tuners being used on  
the 150s and the 500s especially, and it is difficult for the IVTV  
folks to keep up.

But what Tom says is correct, you will have a better chance of  
getting help by posting the boot log info on the card.
