I'm a novice, so may not be 100% correct, but to get my PVR-500MCE working after having similar symptoms as you do (which is supposedly 2 PVR-150's on one card), I did the following:
First, my modprobe.conf has the following two sets of lines: >From Jarod's guide: # ivtv (PVR-500MCE) alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv options cx25840 no_black_magic=1 >From this thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/20096?search_string=pvr-500;#20096 alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv alias tuner tuner-ivtv Second, I couldn't use the script that Jarod describes for loading mythbackend. Instead, I load it using the ~/.kde/Autostart/myth-load.sh file by inserting mythbackend & before I load mythfrontend. Hope this helps.
