The driver version is important.  I believe the 1.5 and 1.6 pcHDTV drivers
had the Thomson DTT7610 defined as tuner 51 an in the 2.0 drivers it's 52.
The tuner module with ivtv has it at 52, so if you're using the old drivers
it might be using the wrong tuner.

Please send in copies of your dmesg from when the cx8800 and ivtv driver are
loaded.

I'm using kernel version 2.6.5-7.151-smp and pcHDTV driver version 1.6.
I'm running SUSE 9.1 Pro.

Well, actually it appears to be happening at pretty high signal
strength too... the local FOX affiliate has a signal strength of 86
while recording choppy recordings.

cool. I was thinking of a driver update...  but this seemed to happen
when I added the PVR-500.  Coincidence?

Well, I _might_ have 1 PCI slot free.. not sure I can move cards around much

The PVR-500 is from a different input.
