Ok. I installed the stable firmware and still no difference. static on the first tuner (/dev/video0) and proper video on the second tuner (/dev/video1). It no longer complains about "ivtv warning: Encoder Firmware can be buggy, use version 0x02040011!!!!".. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
