I've combined a Matrox Marvel with a Bt848 without any trouble. I replaced the Bt848 with a Pinnacle Studio PCTV (Bt87 and encountered an IRQ problem that cleared up when I moved the card into another slot.

Most capture programs make it easy to switch between capture cards.

yeah, i have an ATI AIW 128 Pro AGP and a cybermail BT878 on my asus a7v133 motherboard. i also have dual sound cards in there too, and had 3 at one point to do 5.1 analog out to my stereo. that's under winME, in win2K the cybermail had some problems, but i think they're driver-based.

whats the point in having 2 capture cards on your motherboard at the same time, wouldn't one do the job?

I have a Rage Fury Pro 128 and a BT878 card in the same machine with no problems.

I put a Hauppauge WinTV and an ATI AIW Radeon together on a Abit M/B with no problems.

ATI is better quality but has macrovision, cybermail doesn't and costs $20.
