[mythtv-users] PVR350 and NOVA-T in same box

[Tomica Crnek]

Thanks Nick,

Yesterday I played a little with modprobe.conf and it is working now. I
think the problem was somewhere there. Did you set anything in
modprobe.conf regarding your 2 cards? Could you post your modprobe.conf
so I can see the difference?
