    It really depends on the software you are using on the HTPC. The Windows Media Center that is included in Windows 7 will support up to 4 of each type of tuner (analog, digital OTA, ClearQAM, Cablecard).

    RT-12, CS350-LS, PSW-300, Infinity Overture 1, Monoprice RC-65i
    Adcom GFA-545II, GFA-6000, Outlaw Audio 990, Netgear NeoTV
    Denon DCM-460, DMD-1000, Sony BDP-360, Bravia KDL-40Z4100/S
    Monster AVL-300, HTS-2500 MKII

    So with the above tuner card the WMC could see 2 of them since they are dual tuners. Right?
