I just added a 150 last week and had the same problem until I figured
out the i2c_enable switch. In the saa7127 you have to pass a -1 to
your 150 and/or 500's, but for the cx25840 you skip the 350.

When I added the 150 I got it to work with:

options saa7127 i2c_enable=1,-1
options cx25840 i2c_enable=1 no_black_magic=1

Right now I have a 350, 150 and 500 in tha order, I got the 500
working yesterday with the following:

# detection order: 350, 150, 500
options ivtv ivtv_std=0,0,0,0 tuner=47,47,57,57
options saa7127 i2c_enable=1,-1,-1,-1
options cx25840 i2c_enable=1,1,1 no_black_magic=1

I am running knoppmyth R5A15 with ivtv-0.2.0rc3j.
