John, Thanks for that suggestion. I am halfway there now, in that I can see both my Hauppauge cards are capable of recording at the same time (by checking the recordings in mythfrontend, I can see previews). Unfortunately, my problem with the black screen on playing the recordings still exists. Here is what the relevant section of modprobe.conf looks like now:
alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv options ivtv-fb osd_compat=1 install ivtv /sbin/modprobe cx25840; /sbin modprobe wm8775; /sbin/modprobe saa7127; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb As you can see, I am loading everything but the kitchen sink AND trying to use the "options ivtv-fb osd_compat=1" that is SUPPOSED to fix the problem. I added the commands you suggested to /etc/rc.local and shutdown/restarted. Is there an alternative fix, or something I am doing wrong? I am still getting the same error messages on playback in /var/log/messages as I did at the beginning of this thread. The ivtv Howto page talks about using modules.conf vs. udev rules, but I am not familiar with udev. Maybe that's a fix?
