In my recent Gentoo setup I have both a PVR350 and a PVR500. To get the second tuner going in the PVR500 I had to enter the following options line in the /etc/modules.d/ivtv (which I think is equiv. to the modprobe.conf
in FC2) config file:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_std=1 tuner=57,57
You could give that a try in the appropriate place for your distro.
Here's the Gentoo specific page I used to learn this info:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_PVR_500_Setup
Some of the info is universally helpful, some is specific to Gentoo.
Good luck
