Buried somewhere on the pcHDTV site, is an explanation of how the card works. The cx88_dvb driver handles ATSC, the cx8800 driver handles NTSC. Only one driver at a time can talk to the hardware. So you *should* be able to "rmmod cx88_dvb, modprobe cx8800" and watch NTSC content, then "rmmod cx8800, modprobe cx88_dvb" for ATSC. But that may or may not work. You might have to reboot in between. And even if you can do that, there is no guarantee that myth could handle it....I suppose that an "external command" such as a channel change could actually be a module changeover, but you would also have problems with the database, and the backend would surely choke on not being able to see one of the cards at startup...
