So no luck there.
I never did get two bt878 cards to work without hiccups. I upped the CPU to an athlon 3000 (333mhz fsb) in the hope of running three dumb cards, but couldn't even handle two. I later added two pvr250s and retained one bt878. The bt878 for livetv still isn't perfect; there are occasional hiccups. Pentium4's with their amazing FSB speed might do better.
