[mythtv-users] IVTV Problem

[Sean]

I disabled APIC in my BIOS but since I haven't had the box running that long
I am not sure if this is a problem for me yet.

As far as the module.conf goes, there seems to be 2 ways that will oad both
cards. The way that I have it setup now is to include the "num_devices=2"
option. The other way was to add another call to char-81-1 but this didn't
play nicely.

Then again I AM a noob ;) The way I have it seems to be working well. More
questions forthcoming to all esp concerning the 2 PVR phenomenon :)
