I had a similar issue (PVR350/250 combo), except one card would 
record and the second wouldn't (static) . Turned out I went too fast 
through the mythsetup and didn't set the broadcasttype to us-cable 
(Can't remember the page). Deleted the cards, set them back up, 
single video source (Cable) and activated datadirect. Once that 
happened, gone the card 0 and recording on both pvr cards. All works.

HTH.
