I still think this is a valid user interface concern, since I noticed that tuning "Tuner 0" on both /dev/video{0,1} properly tuned the tuner for that "card". And tuning "Tuner 1" only affects the "card" you are messing with and not the other card, like I thought it might - due to the testing/issues I was having for the last couple of days. Is there a need to have S-Video 1, Composite 2/3, Tuner 1 being exported by each device if you can't actually use them at the same time for each "card"? > > What tuner is being selected as the default for the second "pvr-150" when the > driver intializes it to NTSC, etc?

It's kindof like a hiccup. The video is playing and then it pauses for about .5 seconds and continues. It occilates about every 5 to 10 seconds (from casual observation). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCgVhGtUXjwPIRLVERAo8IAKChhPGfjpm/qdHtB8O6cLq3Si8xfwCgwRSM s9oMQW3hcr1WjIge7uVnCeU= =xltx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
