<div>I'm running two PVR250s and a PVR500. I haven't updated my ivtv drivers in a few months, so some of what is in my modprobe.conf may no longer be necessary with newer drivers, but here is the ivtv modules section.</div>

<div>I believe that you need an 'alias char-major-81-X' line for each tuner that you have, regardless of how many PCI boards they might be on. Also, you'll want to start at '81-0'.</div>

<div>Even if you are not running MythTV on a Fedora box, Jarod Wilson's excellent setup guide can prove quite helpful. Check this section:</div>
