[mythtv-users] Inserting a second pvr into existing setup

[Verteiler]

Hi,

Jarod, again you beshame me. Damn why didn't I use the mailing list 
search. Anyway I have installed the second PVR now (this time it is a 
PVR-250), but unfortunately picture-in-picture does not work. "dmesg | 
grep ivtv" gives this output:

so the 250 works fine. I mapped both tuners to the same video source 
which - I hope - isn't a problem. I can switch between the two tuners 
using the "y" key, when watching live TV, but pressing "v" does not 
result in anything. There are no error messages what so ever (I am 
running the backend with the -v switch) so I don't know how to debug this.

Could someone please help me with the problem described and maybe tell 
me how I can debug problems by my own. This would really help a lot (duh).
