[mythtv-users] Multiple Tuner Cards -- Setup Question

Hi,

I cannot get a second tuner card to work on my mythtv
system.  The original (working) card is a Hauppauge
PVR 250 card, the second card is a"KWorld Mpeg TV"
card based on the Bt878 chipset.  Redhat 9 detects the
Bt878 card, and uses the bttv driver.

In short, I'm getting a "readee error" message when
loading modules for the new card.  Also, the PVR250
card is now on /dev/video1 (instead of video0) and no
longer can be accessed either.

I suspect my problem is setting up modules.conf. 
Below are the modules.conf file and dmesg output.  Any
help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

-- Todd


modules.conf:

# STUFF I ADDED FOR BT CAPTURE CARD
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev

options bttv fieldnr=1
#alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c

alias sound-slot-2 bttv

pre-install bttv modprobe tvmixer
pre-install tvmixer modprobe tvaudio
options tvmixer devnr=2
options btaudio dsp1=1 dsp2=2 mixer=1
# END OF STUFF FOR BT CAPURE CARD

add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner lirc_dev lirc_i2c

"dmesg | grep bttv" returns:
