Well I managed to get the PVR150 firmware installed, and the 150 works fine when it is the only capture card in the box.  When I add the M179 I am able to detect the inputs (in mythtv-setup), but when I try to use the M179 in Mythtv I get the dreaded black screen on 'watch live tv'.  I do realise that this isn't the mythtv mailing list.

I realize that you guys have better things than looking over newbie's goofy configs, but can someone please check my IVTV settings to see if I have everything set up correctly?  :)

Guess this distro is a bit different.  in /etc/modprobe.d/KnoppMyth I find:

include /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv0
include /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv1

These files read:

/etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv0:

alias char-major-81-0 ivtv

/etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv1:

alias char-major-81-1 ivtv


Shouldn't there be some options associated with these also?

I think you mean /etc/modprobe.conf, not xorg.conf
