I did several things to my box last night. I'm not sure if I should
start anew with everything, or whether I'm able to get things to work
from my initial set up.

My initial setup was 1 PVR-350, 1 80G hard drive, and hooked to the basic cable.

I purchased yesterday a PVR-250 to get around some conflicts that I
couldn't sort out by recording at a different time. I also got a Nexus
DVB card and a 200G hard drive for more room.

I installed everything in my box and have managed to get the PVR-250
working. I have a question about the conflicts tho. Is it smart enough
to start using both tuners automatically to record and I am able to
record two shows at one time now?

I added the 200G hard drive, and haven't done anything with it yet.
I'm wondering if I should reinstall from scratch, make my 80G the live
tv buffer and the tmp drive for everything, and make my 200G drive my
/video drive, or if that is wasting too much space, and I should make
my 80 and 200 LVM? If I go the LVM route (which I set up ahead of time
as per Jarod's guide) is there a quick howto on integrating that? I
know it's not really myth related, but people on here must do it.

Lastly, I can't seem to get my Nexus card to work. I've tried getting
firmware and compiling in stuff and I get to the insmod.sh load part,
but no modules seem to load.
I've read that maybe the card needs to be in the system on initial
setup with Fedora, but I'm undecided on that yet. Given what all I
want to do, should I start clean with all my new hardware in the box.
I don't really mind, as I don't have many recordings and I don't
really worry if I loose them at this point.

Thanks.
