I am using digital cable in the US. I only have one tuner card, I'm not sure how it would work with two. You would definitely need to STBs, but that is only part of the problem. You also need to control the channel on the STB. I use a serial connection to control mine, but depending on what model STB you get, and what the cable company decides, the serial port may not exist or could be disabled. If that is the case, you need to control it with an IR blaster. That should work fine for 1 tuner, but I don't know if there is a way in myth, to say use one IR blaster or serial port to control STB1 and a different one to control STB2.
