[mythtv-users] PVR-500 Only one tuner works

[Danesh]

Hey,

I had the same problem and fixing it took
- downloading the patch from the following thread,
- applying it to ivtv source, and
- recompiling ivtv and then rebooting.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/24322?search_string=second%20pvr-500;#24322

Ofcourse, remember to do the above everytime you recompile your kernel.

Regards,
`Danesh
