Multiple HVR-1600 cards in same PC possible?

I am considering trying cable with QAM but it is not clear to me if it is possible to have more than one HVR-1600 in the same PC. Do their drivers support this?

I use two HVR-1600 in my system. I was able to get cable QAM working, but not good enough for me. I could get it working at any particular moment by adjusting the gain on an cable amplifier that I got, but it appears the cable signal would change and then the next day I would have to adjust it again. I think the hvr-1600 needs a pretty good signal to do QAM. I switched back to doing over the air for high def. It also may be in my head, but it seemed like the over the air high def looked better.

Yes. and it works fine. All you need are open slots to plug them into. Many card type combinations are possible.

Thanks to you both. I do prefer OTA but I have just moved and my antenna reception is not the best. I might just get a couple HVR-1600s to replace my A180s so I am set for analog cable, OTA, and QAM.
