My backend is running 0.18 and has 2 pvr250's in it. I've initially
set the ivtv settings using the following:

# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -u 0x3000
# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -p 6
# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -f width=720,height=480 

# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -u 0x3000 -d /dev/video1
# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -p 6 -d /dev/video1
# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -f width=720,height=480  -d /dev/video1

Then did a "MythSetup" added my 2 cards to inputs "/video0 s-video 0"
and "/video1 s-video 0", do a "Mythfilldatabase", reboot and my cards
need to have the ivtv settings restored for which input to use "#
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -p 6" and "# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -p 6 -d /dev/video1"
after which I can capture some video with:

# cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg
# mplayer -vo xv /tmp/test_capture.mpg

When I fire up "MythFrontEnd" I get the message "Mythtv is already
using all available inputs for recording. ..."

Any ideas or thoughts?

Thanks,
