I'll bet that you're just seeing an artifact from the ivtv driver. 
There really is only one tuner, and you'll only be able to record one 
program.  Setup a recording, then while it's running go into Live TV 
mode and see what happens.

Unless something has radically changed that PVR-150 will only be able to 
  use one input at a time, either composite, svideo or tuner.
