Hi Alex,

i tested on 'bare metal' and it worked - i was able to run a scan on both cards
and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' are
available. But the time i rund MythBuntu or any other vm with both cards passed
through, something goes wrong.

I`ve got 3 PCI slots behind that PCIe2PCI bridge and i swapped the cards among
them - it has no effect.

So i assume it depends on the kvm / kernel...

Some other suggestions ?

Kind Regards, 

DP
