TV Tuner card: Dual DVB-T/Analog?

    Now that I have Windows 7 installed I would like to get multiple TV tuners up & running on my HTPC.

    I currently have an "Avermedia A16C Hybrid DVB-T/Analog" card with a "digital" UPC STB as my TV input. This is input from the UPC STB through Scart-> composite video + L Audio +R Audio. AFAIK this is actually an Analogue signal. Needless to say the picture quality is not the best (washed-out), though I think this is more down to the Scart RGB connection than anything to do with my TV tuner card. However, quality has improved under W7, so unless I could get a better quality card with composite connections then I will continue to use this as is.

    I had originally thought about Freesat through a DVB-S2 card, but any installation of a satellite dish has unfortunately been ruled out by 'er indoors :o

    I have one spare PCI slot, so I would like a PCI card that could do Dual DVB-T (Irish DTT- Mpeg4) AND Analog (UPC STB Analog) at the same time. Any card I have seen seems to have Dual DVB-T OR Dual Analog. As these would both be UHF Aerial inputs, is it possible to get a Dual card that could do this? :confused:

    Many thanks........
