I believe they need to be identical if they're separate, so I'd go for a dual. I have the Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T-500 and can recommend it wholeheartedly.

jsut the one i was looking at - and i guess it free's up a pci slot! they are a tad more expensive than 2x single tuners but i think it might be better!

thanks

Dual DVB Tuner - just one wire from antenna/aerial to the card rather than having to split it or whatver to have two wires going in to each of the tuners.
