I think you got it there... I think I have Tuner1 set for /dev/video1. So I 
have should have 2 Tuner 0's and each should be /dev/tuner0 and /dev/tuner1. 
I think thats what you're trying to say. I'm not sure how to see if IVTV is 
getting both cards but I think "dmesg | grep IVTV" should do it and I see:
 ivtv: Autodetected WinTV PVR 150 card (iTVC16 based)
: chip found @ 0xc0 (ivtv i2c driver #0)
ivtv: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=60]
: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0)
ivtv: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=61]
ivtv: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=tda9887, addr=43]
ivtv: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=tveeprom, addr=50]
ivtv: This is the first unit of a PVR500
So there's the first card.
 ivtv: Autodetected WinTV PVR 150 card (iTVC16 based)
: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #1)
ivtv: i2c attach to card #1 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=61]
ivtv: i2c attach to card #1 ok [client=tda9887, addr=43]
ivtv: i2c attach to card #1 ok [client=tveeprom, addr=50]
ivtv: i2c attach to card #1 ok [client=cx25840[50], addr=44]
ivtv: i2c attach to card #1 ok [client=wm8775[50], addr=1b]
ivtv: This is the second unit of a PVR500
And here's tuner 2 (although its the same card.)

 I just have one more question. Even though there is only one coaxial cable 
coming into the card because theres only 1 cable input, I still can have 2 
streams there, right? Or do I somehow need another cable input?
