I've got KnoppMyth R5A16, a PVR250, and a PVR500. All works fine. Both cards and all three tuners are detected by ivtv at boot. I can switch between the two cards with "Y" and between the two tuners on the 500 with "C".
However, MythTV won't use the third tuner for anything. Even though I set it to run 3 jobs at once, it will only record 2 shows at a time, and then it won't let me watch TV at the same time. How can I configure ivtv to treat the second tuner as a third card?

For the record, I did the PVR500 setup steps from a post in this forum, except for the part that says "Skip this part for R5A16".

If you can switch through all three tuners, (I have this same setup right now) then the problem is something other than IVTV in my best guess. I would go back to mythtv-setup, and reconfigure the cards and input connections. A pay attention to the card priority (note another topic where I am confused about card priority, so this may be wrong). It is possible that the backend is choosing to record something at a later time, to avoid a recording conflict. This could explain it not using that last tuner.

I think you have the PVR-500 setup wrong in mythtv-setup. You shouldn't use "C". To switch between the two tuners on the PVR-500.
In mythtv-setup you should be seting up three cards. All of them should be using tuner0. Then when you assign the channels, agian only use tuner0 for each of the three cards.
Then while "watching live TV" use "Y" to switch between all three tuners. Never using "C".
It seems a little bit weird because physicaly the PVR-500 is one card. But to the IVTV drivers it is two seperate cards electronicaly.

I've done that.
I set up /dev/video0, Tuner0. Works.
I set up /dev/video1, Tuner0. Works.
I set up /dev/video2, Tuner0. When I watch it, it's a blank screen.
If I instead set up /dev/video1, Tuner0 and Tuner1, I can watch both tuners just fine. That's why I thought it was an ivtv setup issue.

Humm. I have a pvr-350 and a pvr-500. I set them up as three sepearte cards, and they have been working great.
What is the output from IVTV durring boot up? Find it in the output from running dmesg.

I tried setting up as three separate cards again, and it works -- sort of. I get great video on all three tuners, but on /dev/video1, the first tuner on the PVR500, I get no sound at all. The second tuner on the PVR500 gets sound, and so does the PVR250. I've swapped the coax cables around, so I know that's not the problem.
Here's my dmesg output:

Okay I actually had the exact same problem on my setup. All tuners work except no sound on the first -pvr-500 tuner. I tried a lot to fix it. What I think finally did it thought was installing the newest ivtv driver (0.3.7k has been running great for me) and removing all the settings from the /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv file. Then the driver was able to autodetect all of my tuners no problem.
Also make sure that every time you make a change and reboot you shut the machine down and unplug the power cord for ten seconds. The hauppauge cards need to be compleatly cold hard booted to reset the firmware.
this is my /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv file:
Code: alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv #= /dev/video1
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv #= /dev/video2
alias char-major-81-2 ivtv #= /dev/video3
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3. . .
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sb. . . Also I would be worried about these lines in your ivtv inilization: Code: ivtv warning: i2c client addr: 0x43 not found for command 0x40085618!
ivtv warning: i2c client addr: 0x43 not found for command 0x402c5639!
Make sure you put all three hauppauge firmware files in the /lib/modules directory.

I was running ivtv-0.3.8. I downgraded to 0.3.7k after deleting the bin files, tuner.ko, and all that, then replacing with the ones from the recompiled driver. It's all working now, but it took about five complete power-offs before it would work. I don't know which part fixed it, but thanks.
By the way, it did not work with the firmware files from the PVR500 CD. I had to use the ivtv-fw-enc.bin from the recompiled driver.
