[mythtv-users] PVR350/250 Composite Input question

I have a PVR350 and a PVR250 in my backend. I had the composite setup on
the 350 card and I was recording off a VCR a some time ago. Now I want
to do some more recording of some old 8mm tapes from my old videoa
camera. Problem is I'm using my SVideo-to-Composite converter on
something else right now, so I can't hook it up to the 350. 

So I figured I'd try and use the 250's input, since it's composite. I
switched my "Composite" Video Source in mythtvsetup from one cards
Composite 0 to the other card's Composite 0. Unfortunately I can't get a
picture or sound, but I have tested the camera hooked up to a TV so I
know it's sending A/V.

I also assigned my "Composite" Video Source to both cards so I can
switch to it using "c", but I get no video on either one. I tried
restarting ivtv and mythbackend. 

Just to make sure, the composite on the back of a PVR250 is for input
and "should" be Composite 0, right? If it's not Composite 0 how can I
determine which one it is?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
James
