It may be that the cx88 driver loads first and thinks it can drive the
cx18 card.  If that's the case, you should be able to create a file
/etc/modprobe.d/local.conf with the following:

  install cx88 /sbin/modprobe cx18 ; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install cx88

After you reboot, if you run lsmod (as root), cx18 should show up lower
in the list than cx88.

I think I have two cx88-based cards and a ivtv-based card in my MythTV
box...
