What does the card show up as during boot? Perhaps you got a slightly different 150 card; I had the same problem with mine, and had to compile Ivtv 4.6

The wikipage for it is: http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CompileIvtv

Works wonderfully for me, hopefully that'll fix your tuner 2's video feed. As for the channels, when your setup is finnished and you clear the cards / reset the info, perhaps go through the video sources and make sure it's all set properly.

Also, you'd said your drive filled up? Maybe run a check on your mythconverg to be sure everything is in order.

From what I can tell the cards are the same. I do get one odd thing, and I was getting this with one card, but can't recall how I resolved it.

Whenever I go to leave the setup it says
"Card 0 (type ) is set to start on channel 2, which does not exist."

Neither tuner according to "4. Input" is set to start on channel 2.

/dev/video0 (Tuner) -> Shaw Cable
Video Source: Shaw Cable
Starting Channel: 4
Input preference: 0

/dev/video1 (Tuner) -> Shaw Cable
Video Source: Shaw Cable
Starting Channel: 10
Input preference: 0

What is going on? All the othr Inputs say "None"

And tuner 1 is working.

My PVR-250 worked for a long time on it's own, the 150 I bought had the static problem that prompted the 4.6 compile. Unfortunately not all 150s are created equal, some work stock and some (like mine) don't

I recall having a problem similar to the one you're having, however it kept jumping to channel 10. When I checked my setup, I noticed that I had accidentally set my 250 up to Composite 0 -- everything still worked, but every time I backed out of live TV, it would set itself back to 10. When I switched it back to Tuner0 (as I should have the first time; the pitfalls of doing upgrades between the hours of 3 - 6am), everything was proper again. Unfortunately from the sounds of it, you've already got them set to tuner.

I'm presuming your backend is back up and running?

It's running...just not Tuner 2 (/dev/video1).

Whe I run lspci to see what's in my PC, they show the same...

Aside from this Tuner card issue, I have gotten the Samba shares working properly, and I found the option to remove the live recordings from the listings. So I just want to thank everyone for their help so far, and point out, some things are working

...this is actually kind of sad though, I'm a computer programmer, I can write software to handle millions of dollars in transactions, but can't get a PVR configured properly

You need to upgrade to ivtv 0.4.6 to get that second card working, the key bit of information is that you have the TCL M2523_5N_E tuner chip. Support for this wasn't added until the otherwise broken 0.4.5 http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/stable/ChangeLog-0.4 See the (very detailed) directions on upgrading to 0.4.6 here: [url]http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CompileIvtv[/url

Do no be intimidated that there are 11 "steps". If you're setup so that you can cut & paste between your broswer window and your shell window it will take all of about 5 minutes. It's actually far simpler than it looks.
