Yeah I understand these cards have a USB implementation on the PCI card.

I don't use resume, however one thing I notice, if the system crashes and i just hit reset the 2nd Dvico tuner shows an errror unable to start in Device Manager.
A hard power off is needed to fix these. (Which perhaps what is happening on the fly with the card, faulty hardware?...... more like dodgey Dvico haha).

I'd go buy two dual cards tomorrow if I was sure they were 100%, seems so many are 1/2 efforts by the manufacturers. AverTV Duo would be good, though a quick search seems MP having problems with two tuners with the same 'visual' name in the Device manager list (which is the same as the 2 Dvico tuners currently).
Don't really understand how this could be an issue tho, surely within hardware they are 'signed' with different IDs for any application to reference too?
