Well, I don't actually own a PVR-500, but the PDF file I linked to in
my message shows a PVR-500 with 2 of those headers so I assumed that
it could handle 2 sets of the add-on adapters, which would give it the
number I posted since a PVR-500 is just 2 PVR-150's on a single board.

In any case, for any of those cards, even when adding the additional
inputs. TTBOMK, you can still only use one input on each at a time
(except for on the 500, where you can use both RF inputs, or 2 of the
S-Video/Composite inputs).
