Do all TV Tuners Work in Pairs?

[Operandi]

I have a ATI TV Wonder 650 PCI and wouldn't mind adding a 2nd tuner so I can watch one channel and record another. I know dual tuner configs are popular but dose the tuner have anything to do with it or do all of them play well in configs?

If I can find one I'd like to add another TV Wonder 650 PCI.

Here's a comparison sheet on the ATI Wonder series, may help on what's out there.
Note that there are some dual models.

AFAIK, you can add as many tuners as you have slots. Most software should handle it. I use GB-PVR (free) with a Hauppage HVR-1800 and the option is there to add more tuners.

You didn't say what application(s) are using the tuner(s).

There's a practical limit to how many tuners you can use at once. Media Center restricts you to 4 installed devices, but you can hack this to increase the limit. This limit is in there for a reason - most hardware cant handle more than 4 recordings at once. Four HD streams at once can be taxing on the system.

Sorry, its for Windows 7 x64 Media Center.

My HTPC is in a full size Lian Li ATX case so I have plenty of room. I think I'll try to track down another PCI or PCIe TV Wonder 650.
