This confusion probably comes about because of the use of the word
'tuner' -- the tuner internal to the card tunes a signal input from
aerial (or analog cable in US and Canada; does UK not have analog
cable anymore? or are the frequencies not standardized; like, can you
connect the coax directly to your television set?). If you are
feeding in the signal from a set-top box, you are not using the tuner
at all; you are using the composite (or S-Video or SCART) video input
-- the STB handles the tuning and outputs the tuned video.
So, essentially, you'll need two set top boxes if you want to use both inputs.
