<div>In my recent Gentoo setup I have both a PVR350 and a PVR500. To get the second tuner going in the PVR500 I had to enter the following options line in the /etc/modules.d/ivtv (which I think is equiv. to the modprobe.conf
in FC2) config file:<br><br> alias char-major-81 videodev<br> alias char-major-81-0 ivtv<br> alias char-major-81-1 ivtv</div>
<div> <strong>options ivtv ivtv_std=1 tuner=57,57<br></strong><br>You could give that a try in the appropriate place for your distro. <br>Here's the Gentoo specific page I used to learn this info:<br><a href="http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_PVR_500_Setup">
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_PVR_500_Setup</a><br>Some of the info is universally helpful, some is specific to Gentoo.<br><br>Good luck<br><br>Robin<br><br>On 1/25/06, Peter Darley <<a href="mailto:darley@darleyconsulting.com">
