Only the NTSC/NTSC-J version of the PVR500 is still available. It 
actually says so on the page linked to above: "Note: The WinTV-PVR-500 
is no longer available in a PAL version."

When I contacted Hauppauge in Germany about this they recommended using 
two PVR150s. They would, wouldn't they?

Trouble is that you need two PCI slots for that, and that the PVR150 
doesn't come with the same extent of connectivity options as the PVR500 
does.
