Yup. If my theory is correct, external tuner devices (like USB tuners)
ought to give cleaner video than internal cards. (I've heard
audiophiles prefer external audio capture devices, for the same reason.)
I haven't tested this, though. I do, in multislot machines, try to put
sound cards and tuner cards as far as possible from other cards,
especially video cards.
