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.
