Hi

the README says that PVR cards are supported since version 0.9.15. After
some struggles (thanks to Andreas again), I have a working PVR-250 with
0.9.21.

I guess it means, that ivtv tries to register as this video device and
fails, because your 2 DVB-C have already registered as those devices.

The README to 0.9.21 says to load ivtv FIRST.

That's further than I got for the first time ;-)

Well, upgrade to the latest ivtv (some patchwork needed), latest
analogtv and give it another try.
