[mythtv-users] Problems w/ setting up 2 PVR-250 Cards

[Nate Thompson]

I have gotten both cards installed and recognized by ivtv, but am running
into some problems when I try to test the capture. If I do a 'cat
/dev/video0 > /tmp/tuner0.mpg' I get a picture, however doing a 'cat
/dev/video1 > /tmp/tuner1.mpg' results in an error message stating 'cat:
/dev/video1: Input/output error'. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas as
to what I could do to remedy the problem. The card on /video0 is the new
card, and /video1 is my old so I know it atleast works. Below is some
information about my setup.

/etc/modules.conf:
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 mpg_buffers=90 
options ivtv cardtype=2, 
options tuner type=2 # NTSC tuner 
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner

/bin/dmesg | grep ivtv:
ivtv: SGarray_size = 420, DSGarray_size = 16
ivtv: User specified iTVC16 chip
saa7114.c: starting probe for adapter ivtv i2c driver #0 (0x10005)

ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 32
ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 224

ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 1
ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 33
ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 225
ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 25
ivtv: loaded
ivtv: Timeout waiting for data!

/dev/video0 is a PVR-250 MCE Rev2 (32552)
/dev/video1 is a PVR-250 MCE Rev1 (48432)

Thanks for any help that you can offer. I tried to search the ivtv mailing
list but it seems that the web interface is down.
