So both cards should be Tuner 0 and one is /dev/video0 and the other
is /dev/video1? Since they are both set up to the same cable source,
there isn't a problem using the "cable input source I defined twice,
I assume?

I'm pretty sure the pvr-150 is detected first so that would be video0
and the existing pvr-350 (higher in the PCI chain)  would get bumped
to video1? Like I said, the tv-out on the 350 is still working

Here's the ivtv section from dmesg. I see some unrecognized commands
(no_black_magic for instance) so I mustn't be totally configured
properly
