Linux with analog+digital TV-card

I have a analog Hauppauge WinTV PCI and a digital Hauppauge DVBs
installed in my PC. Can anybody tell me more about issues in installing
both cards simultaniously in one PC ?

When I "make insmod" on the digital driver I can see 1 digital channel
with kwintv, but of course I can't switch the channels. When I try
gVideo I can also see the channel but when I move the mouse cursor into
the window of gVideo the program terminates with a segmentation fault.

Is there a conflict between the analog and digital drivers ?
If so I would like to disable the analog card.

Yours:

This probably hasn't got anything to do with the analog card. I guess
that you get a segfault because I set a newe pointer when the screen
is entered and somehow you don't have the pixmap installed. Try
commenting the lines
ptr = gdk_cursor_new(GDK_RTL_LOGO);
gdk_window_set_cursor(widget->window, ptr);
gdk_cursor_destroy(ptr);

in the gtvscreen.c file and recompile gVideo.
Anyhow, you should use tuxview, since gVideo will not be supported
much longer. You can also use kwintv for viewing and tuxzap for
changing channels.
