My 350 is an LG tuner type 47 while my 500 has 2 phillips type 57's. I 
use NTSC with ivtv-0.3.7k. Your main problem here is that the automatic 
detection of the audio devices is still messed up with this version so 
you 'should' specify something like this otherwise you'll likely lose 
audio on one of the 500's tuners at some point.


alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
alias char-major-81-2 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_std=0,0,0 tuner=47,57,57 tda9887=0,0,0 ivtv_debug=1,1,1
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1

Also, on myth make sure you don't turn VBI on, just set that to none 
otherwise you're video is going to be messed up while they work on 
getting sliced mode working.
