I don't have the exact same combo, but I do have a
PVR-250 and a PVR-500 working in the same box.

I'm using Fedora Core 3 (Jarod's guide), and RPMs from
ATrpms.  The kernel version is
2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at, and the ivtv driver version
is 0.3.3k.

Portions of my modprobe.conf:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
alias char-major-81-2 ivtv
options cx25840 no_black_magic=1
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
alias tuner tuner-ivtv
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe
--ignore-install lirc_i2c

Note the aliases in there - the ATrpms RPMs rename the
modules to prevent a conflict with the kernel modules.
 If you're having problems with the two cards working
together for capture-only purposes, chances are that
you're using the kernel modules (unless you have
patched the kernel), so your tuner won't work.

TV-Out is another issue altogether, although I've
heard that some people have gotten it working.
