Interesting. I'm a hardware guy with a bit of PCI background. Do you
know how are they placing two turners on the same card? Are the tuners
PCI devices and then the card has a PCI bridge?

Looks like it is :

01:08.0 PCI bridge: Hint Corp HB6 Universal PCI-PCI bridge (non- transparent mode) (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32
        Bus: primary=01, secondary=02, subordinate=02, sec-latency=32
        Prefetchable memory behind bridge: d8000000-dfffffff
        Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [90] #06 [0000]

02:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device e807
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5
        Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device e817
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 12
        Memory at dc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]

1) I'm interested in getting a dual tuner card that might actually work reliably


It works just fine. In fact, I think I've seen it poking my pcHDTV-3000 and making fun of it in the school yard. I shouldn't be so hard on it though, it IS working now, it just wasn't nearly as easy as the ivtv stuff.

2) I have a combo USB2.0/1394 card that uses a PCI Bridge and works
great under Windows but doesn't work under Linux.

Combo anything scares me. Combo media readers (compact flash+MMC, etc) never work right without a driver, etc. My stupid HP print/scan/ fax/copy/emptybankaccount printer sucks equally as much.
