Tim,
I as well as a few others on the list have had this problem with the
pcHDTV cards which also have the dual mode in one tuner setup. In
addition to setting them up as separate cards you have to check the
option "Open DVB card on demand" in the card setup. On that same screen
there's something about EIT which should be unchecked, else it
completely negates opening the card on demand. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jesse Burt
