I ran into the exact same thing wiht my ATSC 110s.  If you look at the
linux-dvb mailing list from linuxtv.org you'll see a thread about the same
topic recently.  So far no one has come up with a resolution.

I ended up lucking upon a free 4 slot pci motherboard (seeming to be a
rarity these days) and just dropped in two PVR-150s.  Please post back if
you find a fix!
