Not to hijack, but...  lets expand the discussion.

Seems to me this could be an ideal application for multiple cards and 
multiple antennas.  I have often though of using
something like this with my setup.  Run an antenna to a card with no 
splitters.  Run another antenna to another card with
no splitters.  Edit channels so each card only picks up channels in that 
direction.  I have channels all around me at distance,
so this seemed like a good way to go.  Opinions?
