These cards can tune to any ONE of the following:
Standard definition digital TV    (works in linux)
HD digital TV    (works in linux)
Analogue TV    (partialy works in linux I think, with a lot of effort)
Analogue FM radio.    (doesn't work in linux, without rewriting the driver - i 
think)

I'm pretty sure there is no way to get it to tune to even an analogue signal 
and a digital one at the sam time. Only one at a time.
