Signal strength?  Have you taken off the splitter and plugged the 
antenna/cable line directly into one of the PVR-500 inputs and tested 
it?  See also http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/17953#17953

Model number and tuner version are not at all related.  The tuner you 
get is the one on which Hauppauge got the best deal when they purchased 
tuners used in building the lot of cards from which yours was sold.
