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

[Peter Darley]

Lonnie,
	You are a genius and a saint. :)  I wasn't sure that I was ever going to
get this working.

	Anyway, for the record, what I did exactly was:

cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/
mv tuner.ko tuner.ko.bak
mv tveeprom.ko tveeprom.ko.bak
mv msp3400.ko msp3400.ko.bak
mv tda9887.ko tda9887.ko.bak

cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/drivers/media/video
cp tuner-ivtv.ko tuner.ko
cp tveeprom-ivtv.ko tveeprom.ko

modprobe -r ivtv
depmod -a
modprobe ivtv

	After this, everything was working.  This was on Fedora Core 3, tho I
suspect it would work the same, or at least similarly on FC4, and maybe on
other distros?

	Thanks again to everyone who helped me!

Thanks,
Peter Darley

The /lib/modules/<kernel name> is where kernel modules live.  .ko files
and .ko.gz files are loadable kernel modules.  In the dir with the ivtv
files, take note of the file names.  search under that
entire /lib/modules/<kernel name> directory for files with the same name
(like tveeprom).  Those are the ones to rename to prevent a clash.  Once
done, run "depmod -a" (without quotes) to update the module dependency
list.  Then when it tries to load the tuner and such, it will get the
one from the ivtv build.
