So, I assume that the tuner is not being recognized because of the HD3000 just placed in the pc. I checked modprobe.conf and cx88-blackbird was installed above the ivtv driver automatically after the first reboot. So, I ran the "extras" from pcHDTV site which installed: cx88-atsc, cx88-dvb and cx88-risc in modprobe.conf. I remember reading, and my setup, has the ivtv driver first (video0 and video1), followed by whatever cx88* drivers. thanks Geoff. I remember your msg and I tried that. That didn't seem to change anything. While I couldn't find anything that indicated what /dev the PVR-250 is, I went ahead and changed the HD3000 to video0 and the PVR-250 to video1. That worked. Now I have live TV. I also changed the HD3000 to terrestrial input (physical RG6) and commented all of the cx88's except the cx88-atsc. Fooling around, I unplugged my antenna and plunged in the cable to the HD3000 (note, that I'm not even looking at the HD3000). I commented out all of the cx88 entries except cx88-atsc. That resulted in  large blocks at the top of the picture that flashed. Fooling around some more, I uncommented all except cx88-dvb in modprobe.conf and that seemed to get rid of the large B&W blocks. Note again, that I'm only looking at the PVR-250 input. There must be a connection between having cx88-atsc and ivtv. But, I don't know why that would be. With cx88-dvb and ivtv co-habitating, it doesn't seem to be the problem. Now, I just need to know how I can get the HD3000 working. And, how I can view LiveTV with HD3000 with the PVR-250 in -- I don't even know if there is a way that you can pick which tuner to view live TV. Also, I like to switch to terrestrial ATSC instead of cable at some point. Don't know how to do that -- I certainly don't want the B&W boxes back! If you use cx88_dvb + blackbird, the card should show up at /dev/dvb/adapter0 If you use cx8800 the card would be (was for me, when I tried it) at /dev/video2 (NTSC...) I haven't tried the cx88-atsc but I presume that it could easily show up at /dev/video32.. hmmm... I'll try that. Do you NEED to also load blackbird? Where is cx8800 located? Thatnks for the help!
