Major Noise on PVR500

You could also just replace the mobo for about $85. I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum that works fine with 2 500's and a Fusion. Also, you might try enabling "Spead Spectrum" in the BIOS to see if the EMI is reduced.

Polypro has good point there you you could give that a shot.

Polypro, Since I had more free time this weekend to do a lot of trial and error testing, I checked in the bios and the spread spectrum was already enabled. I disabled it to see what kind of difference it made. The horror, worst with it off than with with it on.

The pvr500 is just not going to work with the board. The pvr150 however is slightly better, but just one little problem. The cross hatchet isn't there, but I get this wierd rolling / waving horizontal bar of some sort moving up. With every revision of drivers, this is one thing that won't go away. I'm ended up doing an rma on the pvr150. Now I just need to sell off the pvr500 since it's not really compatiable with my motherboard.

Luckly jlindborg on here is hooking me up with his pvr250. If this works out right, I might just end up getting another pvr250 for a total of 3 tuners and I'll be all set.
