Okay I've used Jarrod's guide and the card works.
I can get video and audio. 
But...
I can't seem to be able to record one channel and then watch
live TV on another.

My PVR-500 according to /var/log/messages is recognized
as two PVR-150's.

So when I go to mythtvsetup
enter 
capture cards. 
I pick  mpeg-2 encoder (PVR-250,PVR-350)
Video device: /dev/video0
Default Input: Tuner0

In input connections I have
both tuner's set to cable.

.
When I run mythfrontend
I can switch tuners by hitting the C key
but I can't get picture in picture nor can I
watch tv on one channel and record another.

I've tried setting it up as two cards.
where I added a second mpeg-2 encoder 
video device: /dev/video1
Default input Tuner1
Set both cards/tuners to cable in the input connections.

But when I do this I can't watch live TV.

What do I do?

Now here is where I am stumped.
