<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have gotten both cards installed and recognized by ivtv, but am running into some problems when I try to test the capture. If I do a 'cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/tuner0.mpg' I get a picture, however doing a 'cat /dev/video1 > /tmp/tuner1.mpg' results in an error message stating 'cat: /dev/video1: Input/output error'. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what I could do to remedy the problem. The card on /video0 is the new card, and /video1 is my old so I know it atleast works. Below is some information about my setup.</FONT></P>
