hi,

i got now 2 TVcards installed in my suse8.1
- TerraTValue (bt878)
- MiroPCTV (bt848)

and i can't get them to work at the same time

i asssume that "/etc/modules.conf" is the only file i have to edit to get the 
cards to work, so:

the terraTValue card works with these values
-----------------------------------------
options i2c-core 12c_debug=1
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options bttv card=33 pll=1
options tuner type=5
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias char-major-81-1 off
alias char-major-81-2 off
alias char-major-81-3 off
-----------------------------------------

and

the miroPVTV card works with these values
-----------------------------------------
options i2c-core 12c_debug=1
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options bttv card=1 pll=1
options tuner type=0
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias char-major-81-1 off
alias char-major-81-2 off
alias char-major-81-3 off
-----------------------------------------

so,

the both cards "should" (with my logic) work with these values
-----------------------------------------
options i2c-core 12c_debug=1
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options bttv card=33,1 pll=1,1
options tuner type=5,0
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias char-major-81-1 bttv
alias char-major-81-2 off
alias char-major-81-3 off
-----------------------------------------
but with this i get:
"tuner.o : too many values for type"

i'm trying to solve this problem like 2 days allready and can't find a 
solution even from googles group search...

so i was hoping here's some1 with 2 bttv tuner cards installed and could help 
me a little...

thnx
