I have a usage question concerning the combination of the video and radio tuners on PVR-500 and PVR-350. I'm using this in mythtv but I don't believe that is really relevant. The way it is being used is to tune to a specific video channel and then tune the radio on the same card so the radio audio replaces the audio that was heard from the original video tuning. As an example, I use this to tune the weather station to display on the TV but replace the audio with that available on any tunable radio station. It provides nice background music, talk radio, or whatever is available that I decide to listen to. It's also useful for replacing the television commentary on sports with the commentators from the radio. The radio commentators typically have to provide better information. It is a mechanism to provide my own simulcast setup, if you will. Normally, this would be done with a separate television/radio setup.
My original intention was to make the radio work in mythtv and during the research found that this is a great and required feature that should be maintained. With the ivtv 1.0 driver this works great. However, with the ivtv 1.1.0 included with the 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 kernel it no longer functions that way. Attempting to tune the radio after displaying video in the 1.1.0 driver results in "device resource busy" or something close to that. My specific question is: Was the functionality removed intentionally for technical reasons or as a side affect of other changes? A secondary question would be: Is there another way around this in the ivtv 1.1.0 version that is included in the 2.6.24.3-X series kernels? Any information would be appreciated.
