You can try hookup your PVR500 directly to the output of a VCR, or DVD 
player that has an RF output.

Also try having your PVR as the only device in the house hooked to the 
line, and with no splitters inline.   Each device creates load, and your 
PVR500 is really two devices.

If you take a look at the ivtv mailing list archives, you'll find a lot 
of people with the same issue.
