[linux-dvb] is two DVB cards possible?

[Darren <sharman@technologist.com>]

Hi,

I would like to know if its possible to use two DVB cards in the same
system?

I'm trying to run two Nebula cards, I can get data off both cards when
they are used at different times. However, if I try to run both cards at
the same time I get the following error, when I start the second card.

"server: bind: Address already in use"

I'm running on a 2.6.4 kernel using the ntx6000 and bt8xx modules built
by the kernel.

lsmod shows the following.

Module                  Size  Used by
dvb_bt8xx               7268  0
bt878                  11024  1 dvb_bt8xx

Can anyone tell me if running two cards is possible, or what i'm doing
wrong?

Thanks,

Darren
