Video 0 & video1 = the same thing...its only 1 card...im on 3.5.i
drivers and only get 1 now so I think the drivers are evolving more and
more 8)

video0 doesn't exist until the ivtv driver is loaded.  

I think what you mean is how can I load ivtv drive on boot...which is
add it to /etc/modules file 

Static on the tuner means you havent set up the channels......im at a
similar point but im working on mine still so I cant advise yet

Subject: [mythtv-users] Static on PVR-150 running FC3

I've followed Jarod's guide pretty much word-for-word for setting up
Myth on FC3 and have run into a few issues.  I'm using 2 PVR-150s and a
GeForce FX 5200.

First, all I get is static when I set up Myth and enter Watch TV mode.
 I've set up my 150s in Myth's Capture Devices section as the 250/350
setting, which I'm presuming is correct.  The system is recognizing at
least 2 cards (/dev/video0 and /video1), and all I get is static on the
screen, along with the on-screen programming information.  I've even
tried the following settings, and now I get static for one second, and
then Myth locks up and gives me an error.  Maybe this is because I'm
still using the monitor instead of the TV right now...

# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -u 0x3000
# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -p 4 (I've tried 0 and 1 also) # /usr/bin/ivtvctl -f
width=720,height=480

Any ideas from anyone that might know my problem or something good to
try would be greatly appreciated, especially since I'm sure someone else
out there is running 150s successfully  =).

Finally, on the annoying side, the /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 devices
aren't showing up in the system until I run the "/sbin/modprobe ivtv"
command as root.  Where can I put this command so it will run as root on
startup?

Again, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!!

Jason
