Yeah, no I mean that the difficulty in telling which modules were loaded in
response to which hardware or, conversely,  which drivers each card is
using.  In any case, I pulled the Fusion5 out leaving just the pvr 350 and
the HD3000 (again, a config which was working before) and grabbed lsmod |
sort - here is some of it:

btcx_risc              38857  3 cx8800,cx8802,cx88xx
button                 41185  0
cx22702                40389  1 cx88_dvb
cx8800                 71373  0
cx8802                 47173  1 cx88_dvb
cx88_dvb               46429  0
cx88xx                103265  3 cx8800,cx88_dvb,cx8802
dm_mod                 99337  0
dv1394                 57273  0
dvb_core              129277  1 video_buf_dvb
dvb_pll                45509  4 cx88_dvb,or51132,nxt200x,cx22702

I'm posting this because I thought someone said that cx8800 would block
cx88_dvb, or is it that I can only use one set of functions - dvb, or ntsc -
at a time (in which case it's ok that both are loaded)?
