Hi Weeny,

I did some more tests, it appears that I can record on the 2nd tuner and get 
no signal at all on the first...

I did try as you suggested and the output is below..

Dosn't this look like there is only one tuner being found.....but the messages 
in dmesg seem to conflict with this, dmesg (Part of) is below...

So now I am confused.

I did try this, but all I got was noise on each /dev/video1 and /dev/video0..
