[mythtv-users] AVermedia M179 and PVR-150

[Donny Fontenot]

Does anyone have a working system with an Avermedia M179 and a PVR 150?  I
am having a world of issues getting things up and running and am hoping that
this combination is feasible.  I've been beating my head on this for some
time now and could use a little help.

When either card is in my box it works fine.  When both are in at the same
time, I get a black screen when switching to that tuner when watching live
tv..  I currently have the PVR 150 as /dev/video0 and the M179 as
/dev/video1.

If someone could check my IVTV settings from dmesg and tell me if it looks
reasonable, I would greatly appreciate it:

I can provide additional information from the logs if necessary.  Your help
is greatly appreciated.
