Search the archives about this.  The Pundit uses a riser card, and two
full-height cards requires a little tweaking of the case to make them
both fit (they fit fine once they're in, but there is a lip on the case
that needs to be moved out of the way while getting them in).  You may
also have (non-serious) heat issues with both of those cards, so your
machine will probably not run as quiet as the pundit normally does as
the fans spin up to compensate for both tuners.

Works great for me on my 27" WEGA.  I don't have much to compare it to,
though.  It is, however, noticeably better than the standard RCA-style
output also on the pundit.
