PVR500 Hell

[UncleJohnsBand]

Ok....I had 2 PVR-150's and one burned up so I got a PVR500 since I was planning on adding another tunner.

I have follwed the instructions on the Wiki for adding a PVR500 and as soon as I set one of the tunners to Capture source #2 I get the following in my exe.native.log:

Help Please....

Seen that before? I have 4 pvr 500 and some are giving me trouble?

[UncleJohnsBand]

Well....I upgraded the drivers for the tunners on the PVR500 to the drivers that came with the unit and I am now able to watch 3 channels at once....so I am assuming that the issues revolve around the drivers that were picked up when I put in the card wich would be the drivers from the my PVR150.....those drivers are dated 10/2004 and the new ones are 10/2005. I left my PVR150 at the 10/2004 drivers.

Any thoughts just in case someone elese encoutners this problem?

Use the same drivers for all your cards. The 150 and 500 use the same drivers, so having two different sets may be causing the problems.
Use HWClear, and follow the uninstall/reinstall process found at shspvr.com, then do a clean install of gbpvr.

I was using the same drivers on the 150 and 500....as soon as I upgraded the drivers on the 500 things began working.
