[mythtv-users] PVR 500 static on both tuners

My PVR 500 arrived today, and I stuck it in with my two existing PVR
250s. I then ran through Jarod's guide to get it setup. When I get to
the point of 'cat'ing the output of /dev/video2 and /dev/video3 to a
test capture file and then playing them with mplayer, all I get is
colored static, with no sound. I've searched the archives and found a
few others with this issue, but was not able to track down a fix.

FC3, latest 0.17 from yesterday's ATrpms. The only thing that I added
to modprobe.conf is the two new char-major lines for the new tuners,
and the no black magic line. Here is my modprobe.conf:

alias eth0 e1000
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl$
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ;
}; /sbin/modprobe$
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-6629
alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-6629
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
alias char-major-81-2 ivtv
alias char-major-81-3 ivtv
options cx25840 no_black_magic=1
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
# lirc_ic2 module setup
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c

Has anyone with similar issues found a solution?
Or should I join the ivtv list and post there?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
