I don't think I'm gonna be much use here because I can't help you with most of the technical details but I can say that I have run a BTTV and a PVR-150 at the same time.  One thing I found (in fact, about the only I can add that might help you) was that the order of the cards in the PCI slots made a difference.  Unfortunately, I can't tell you what particular configuration worked, only that it made a difference in my case.

An additional thing to note is that I was not at all with the quality of the captures I got from my BTTV.  The quality of the signal just seemed really bad when it came through the BTTV card.  In fact, I was so dissatisfied with it that I turned it off.

I don't know if the BTTV card just sucked (it was a Win-TV card) or if there was some kind of interference with the PVR-150?!?  If anybody knows of a reason why the presence of the PVR-150 should make the BTTV signal suck and knows a way to address the problem, I'm all ears.

Apologies for the semi-OT post, but I'm wondering if anybody else here is
successfully running a PVR-150 (or 500) and a bttv-based card in the same
system -- preferably using ATrpms -- and if so, whether you could post your
modprobe.conf.

For background, I'm running FC4, and my new PVR-500 works beautifully, as
does the old bttv card when ivtv isn't present.  When trying to use both,
though (yes, I *need* 3 analog tuners!  2 aren't enough!  Especially when my
Air2PC doesn't seem to like Northern VA Comcast's QAM... grumble grumble),
I'm getting the following dmesg errors when I try to use both with my latest
modprobe.conf:

The relevant portions of my modprobe.conf:

alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
alias char-major-81-2 bttv
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias tuner tuner-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
options bttv chroma_agc=1 pll=1 radio=0 card=34 tuner=2


Relevant RPMS (almost everything on this system is pure ATrpms-based):

I imagine one or more of the the alias tveeprom/tuner/msp3400 lines are to
blame, but before getting too deep into a workaround, I was wondering if
it's trivial or not worth fixing.
