Aha, that makes a lot more sense then. :-)

The header for the 500 is probably worth it then, so you can use two S-Video 
hookups. Though that probably means losing use of another opening on the back 
of your case to get the extra headers externally accessible. Partially 
defeats the purpose of the 500, but if you have extra openings without a PCI 
slot behind them, nothing really lost. Something for folks to consider, 
anyhow. You can always have your primary one hooked up to S-Video and the 
secondary via the tuner. Another thought... I'm not sure if the composite 
input and svideo input on the back of the 500 itself are wired to the same or 
different encoders... If they aren't, you might try one via svideo and one 
via composite video first...

Input via FireWire and HDTV capture cards are the only ways I know of.
