There is allegedly a riser for a second card. http://www.viavpsd.com/product/7/16/EPIA_intro_0602.pdf on page 10 has a picture. There is also mention of an mpeg decoder that plugs into the "video in" header. It is from Sigma designs, so might be workable under Linux with dxr3 driver... > The other slant is dual-DVB systems.

It would probably cost about the same... -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
