Hopefully this is not a trivially simple question, but I haven't been
able to find any hints in various mailing lists or google searches...
I have a new WinTV PVR-USB2 (of the 24xx flavor) and am trying to use
with with an Ubuntu Feisty system (kernel 2.6.20-16)
When I plug the device into the USB bus, dmesg indicates that it is
recognized, a bunch of modules are loaded, and /dev/video0 and
/dev/radio0 are created. If I then use vlc from the command line ('vlc
pvr:/dev/video0:frequency=<XXXXXX>'), I am able to watch video right off
the device. I assume this is coming from tuner 0 on the device?
My question is: how do i access the 2nd tuner? If I wanted to run 2 VLC
windows watching 2 different channels, is it possible? There is no
/dev/video1 device? I presume that if I wanted to use mythtv or freevo
to access both tuners, it should be doable?
Thanks for any pointers,
