check the archive for fixing the tuner code. there have been similar
questions in the last weeks. when you have fixed the tunercode, you
will probably run into another problem: the port is created for
pvr250s, not 150s. it will not initialize the necessary chips (
particular cx25840 and tda9887 )

i have a working pvr500 setup ( in fact, i have now 2 pvr500s in one machine ).

i am working on creating a port for it ( it is based on the pvr250
port from John Wehle )

since a pvr500 is actually 2 pvr150s on one card, i assume my patches
will work for you as well.

regards,

usleep

ps: i am willing to just tar czf my source-dir, but i have been warned
about license issues: i am using linux/ivtv source code linked into
the pvr250 port )
