There was a thread about a similar thing on ivtv-devel a week or
so ago. A friend of mine's PVR-500 and the one I recently purchased has
the same problem: only tuner1 works... tuner2 is static. I haven't had
time to work on mine and figure it out.
IIRC, the current theory has to do with i2c not initializing it
properly and/or the tveeprom module used is the wrong one. I tried
manually loading the ivtv-based tveeprom on mine last night (rather than
the kernel one), but no joy.
I could be F.O.S....
