Well, that turned out to be true, BUT...
It was set correctly at one time,- I guess I just dont trust this
setup program/database,- things seem to change behind my back.

In any case, before making the change I actually saw video with the hd-2000
card, AFTER the FIX, nothing, just black screen.  Ive tried the dtvsignal
trick a couple three times, and still black screen, and the above messages.

Sigh.

Pulling the PVR-250 helped
Keeping the IVTV module from loading seems to help.

Im down to one video card, one driver, and one black screen...
