Thanks Marc,

Only one directory is present.  That is "adapter0".

Okay.  So I only have one "adapter0" and the system is not creating  
the second directory when the DVB module loads.  What can I do to fix  
this situation?

Note: I have removed the old working capture card and verified that  
the new card DOES work when it is the only pcHDTV card in the  
system.  It just doesn't work when both cards are in the system.
