Yup, I even tried to connect both of them, unplugging my PVR-150, and
connecting both cables to the HVR-1800 (it has a third connector
labeled as FM, I even tried to move a cable there, just in case): no
luck..... on a side note, the 27MHz crystal this card has looks a
little smashed (likely during shipping, but hard to tell), I don't
know if that 27MHz crystal is part of the analog tuner circuit or
what.

I also noted the WinTV app to be quite unstable (freezing from time to
time).  Sometimes I restarted the machine between WinTV freezes (just
in case): no luck.
