Do dual tuners exist for USB?

Suggestions for a good (and inexpensive) dual tuner for USB?

There are some hybrid NTSC/ATSC/QAM USB tuners but I am not aware of any USB
dual HD tuners.
Maybe Hot-Text is.

Could we trouble you for a URL perhaps? Maybe a manufacturer/product name?

Hmm, yea. That is often what I hear described as a dual tuner, ATSC, and
NTSC, but I will bet the OP was looking for one that can do two at a time.
That is, watch one while recording one. I did ask here one time if it was
conceivable to just hang two USB tuners off a box to get that capability,
and was told it would work. I wonder if Jeff is looking because he has a
laptop, or because of a small form factor PC. If the later, Hauppage does
make a half height, dual, (at the same time) tuner card. It is a single slot
PCI Express (PCIe) X1 board, half height card, the WinTV-HVR-2250. Actually
sounds like it has 4 tuners, two analog and two digital, but you only get to
use two at a time. Working fine in a Win 7 box for me. Got the latest
drivers from Hauppage, not Windows Update, and works fine.

You are correct. I was looking for a USB tuner (I have a laptop running XP
Media Center) that would allow me to watch one channel while recording
another - like many TIVO units do.

I'll look into the
"PCI Express (PCIe) X1 board, half height card, the WinTV-HVR-2250"

Thanks.

Jeff
