[mythtv-users] controlling order of tuner card detection?

Sometimes, my tuner cards are detected and thus
assigned to /dev/videoX 
numbers in different orders - this wouldn't be an
issue except that they 
have very different connections and features. Right
now, I've got a 
pvr-150 with both cable and video-in and a hd5500 with
qam and backup 
cable in - if they get detected in the wrong order,
/dev/video doesn't 
have an mpeg encoder, doesn't have an attached cable
box to video0, and 
gets darn nasty reception. I've been planning to
replace the 150 with a 
500, but I'm nervous that it'll make things even
worse... 

Is there any way to force detection to proceed in
bus-order, presumably 
not changing unless I swap cards? 

thanks

You can blacklist the modules in your modprobe.conf.
This way they'll be loaded when you modprobe in
rc.local in the same order everytime. You could also
write a udev rule. I did the blacklist which took just
a minute to do.
