I have the Samsung tuners, and I was interested in this statement: "Ivtv developers have noted that the Samsung tuners used in later PVR 500s are rather sensitive and will show a grainy picture if supplied with too high a signal level. In this case you must reduce signal strength by either inserting a 'pad' (a resistor) between the PVR and the cable, or if your house has a cable amplifier, by reducing the gain on the amplifier." Can anyone who has tried this give more specific information? How many ohms/watts should the resistor be?

EOL

Can somebody confirm the pvr-500 going EOL and if so, does anybody have a good alternative (PCI, Dual analog tuner and HW MPEG2 enc)?

User Experience Section

I think there is some really useful stuff in that section, but it's a bit messy. Has anyone got any suggestions for tidying it up?
