I've been running a 64bit backend on FC4 for about a year, Jun 17th
2005 according to the timestamp of my /etc/issue.  I have a PVR250 and
a PVR150 running 2.6.16 and it's been a solid platform for me.  Are
you using the ATRPM IVTV drivers?

The CPU is a Athlon 64/3000 S754 on a SiS Motherboard.  Have you tried
the PVR500 on windows to see if it's not a card issue?

good luck,
