stands a chance. But I read bad things about the kworld equivalent - locks
up when stressed and also reception on 1st port suffers when 2nd is active.
Same chipset?

Sounds good. Make sure you bash it *hard* with both tuners running.

I'm about to blow £200 plus on eight (don't ask!) Nova-T USB tuners,

be interested to see how you get on. Some of these tuners will initially
just be used as Ir receivers. They work well with mythtv and use NEC codes,
so I should be able to send them more codes than the remote has buttons by
hand editing my MX-500 config.
