Hmm, could be, but I suspect it's more likely that Vista MCE is simply
looking at the wrong frequencies. I've heard a rumor that you can hack the
registry to fix this - just haven't been able to find the details as yet.

So are you absolutley sure that Vista will not tune both analogue and
digital from one (hybird) card? Is there anything in Microsoft offical sites
which confirms this?

Sorry but if your DVB-T service uses MPEG4 then there is no way that Media Center currently supports
it.

Media Center will not use both tuners in a hybrid card either. It doesn't even support two separate
tuners with one digital & one analogue. The underlying reason is that Media Center supports only one
programme source as it supports only one programme guide. The one exception is in the US where 1 or
2 Over The Air ATSC HDTV tuners are supported alongside 1 or 2 analogue NTSC cards.
