Correct.  Steven Toth wrote the current 22xx Linux driver (although he
has since stopped updating that site and now puts status updates on
the KernelLabs blog (http://kernellabs.com/blog).  And as of this
time, he has not begun to do work for analog support.  Adding analog
support for a new bridge is a very time consuming project (it can take
months of development), and he has not as of this point committed to
doing it.

Correct.  It has one analog and one digital tuner, and in fact can
record on both at the same time.  But because of the board layout, you
cannot do two analog or two digital at the same time.
