It sounds like you didn't add the second video capture device. Once you do
that, and assign the channel source, you should be all set.
(In case it's not clear, a PVR-500 looks like two video capture devices. If
you don't have any other capture devices, it will appear as /dev/video0 and
/dev/video1.)
