[mythtv-users] New 2nd tuner card not used for recording

I added a bttv tuner card to my Myth system (0.13) which had a PVR-250.
This seems to be working except the scheduler won't use the bttv to record when
the PVR is busy recording something else.

I can watch Live TV off the bttv card while something is recording on the
PVR250.

The only strange thing I can think of is I have both cards (in setup)
set to use /dev/dsp0 for Audio. My understanding is that the PVR doesn't
need an audio device as the sound is extracted from the stream. However
the setup program doesn't like when I select (none), it changes it to
/dev/dsp56k and I don't get any sound of the PVR card. With both cards
set to /dev/dsp0 the they both have sound (and each have their correct
sound).

I couldn't get the sound via btaudio (static on /dev/dsp1 & /dev/dsp2
when I tried) although lspci says the card has a bt878 audio device. In any
case, the sound out on the card is patched to line-in on the AC'97 and that
seems to work.

I searched the archives for this issue but couldn't find anything.
