<br>The fix is easy; I turn off mythbackend, bring up mythtvsetup, and go to the Capture Cards listing for the Happague. The config page will show /dev/video0, and list the hdtv-3000 card as hardware it's seeing. I just need to switch /dev/video0 to /dev/video1 and I'm back in business.<br>

<div>The hard way: write udev rules</div>
<div>This has always troubled me</div>

<div>Easy way (for me): Add an option line to your ivtv module in modprobe.conf</div>
<div>options ivtv ivtv_first_minor=1</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This will cause ivtv to always take /dev/video1 (double check with a google search to see if ivtv_first_minor is 0 based) which leaves /dev/video0 always open for your hdtv-3000 card.</div>
