[mythtv-users] Second card needs to be initialized???

[Brian Wood]

Still trying to get a handle on inconsistent PiP results. This is  
getting stranger and stranger.

It turns out that trying to use PiP mode (via any method) will lock  
up the frontend.

UNLESS I have used the second card to make a recording first, then it  
seems to work OK.

So I must make a recording in a way that uses the second card (ie:  
not "watch while recording") before I can use the second card to view  
a PiP image.

The first card is a PVR-150, the second a PVR-350. There is an  
HD-3000 card but it's presently listed as "no input".

ivtv-detect see all three cards, and no errors on boot-up  
initialization.

I'm considering trying reversing the card order, as I can't get CC  
out of the 150 anyway, but I really wonder what's going on.

Any ideas appreciated.
