I run a PVR350 and a pcHDTV HD-5500. The HD-5500 uses the cx8800 driver for
NTSC capture. I've never been totally successful getting both NTSC/ATSC on
the HD-5500 while having the PVR-350 installed at the same time. However I
am able to use the ATSC side of my HD-5000 and the PVR350 at the same time
in MythTV. I have to make sure that the ivtv drivers get loaded first and
then I load the cx88-dvb driver.

To do this I blacklisted these drivers:
cx88-blackbird
cx8800
cx88-dvb

Then I put this in /etc/modules:
cx88-dvb

If I load the cx8800 driver I can get the NTSC side of my HD-5500 working
with TVTime, just not in MythTV. Also I had to manually make a
channels.conffile to import into MythTV for ATSC on my HD-5500.
Scanning doesn't work for
me in MythTV.
