Tadashi,

Yes. I have 3 Bt848 cards in my machine.
1 Hauppauge WinTV card
2 Videologic Captivator PCI cards.

> And I am planning the watching  multiple TV channels at the same time.

Make sure you get three identical cards as the bt848 driver
assumes all Bt848 cards have the same make of tuner.
I only use cameras so the tuner type did not matter to me.

The new version of FXTV supports multiple Bt848 cards and they can
both do DGA at the same time from what I can remember.
use the fxtv -deviceNumber 0 and
fxtv -deviceNumber 1 settings.
