Yep, we all know who you are.  And that myth is a lower priority 
for you than your significant other (as is my situation - plus two
kids).

This is very strange.  I'm on the ivtv list too.  What address are 
you using?  I use ivtv-users<at>ivtvdriver(dot)org (probably the 
same one you use, but figured I'd just make sure).

Have you gone here: http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users 
to sign up?

It's not nearly as active as this one, but I think that's because most
of 
those people are here anyway.

Is your PVR-500 connected straight from the incoming cable, or through

a cable box?  You do know you can't get a cable box signal to both 
150's inside the 500, right?  Just makin' sure.

Interesting.  Hopefully you'll finish this up just in time to start
down 
the .19 road!

ivtv is just a lot less active.  And most people can't do much other 
than run the right version of the drivers.  Have you checked out 
Jarod's guide, specifically the ivtv section, just to see if there's 
any help for your situation there?

Good luck!
