This is planned for the air2pc card, and presumably the pcHDTV.. I am not sure
which will happen first.. The pcHDTV code being merged into the dvb code, or
the dvb code supporting multiples programs from 1 mux. Either way in the end
the answer is yes for both cards.

Air2PC - 100% chance. I have just gotten this working tonight. I will be
putting my post on linux-dvb for the driver changes tonight. I have done some
preliminary work on support in Myth (quite small changes mind you) tonight and
am watching my local pbs station now in HD while I am typing this email.

pcHDTV - Good chance. I would take Daniels answer on this..
