No, it will only record a single show in SD and a single show in HD. It can't do two in SD unless you buy two of the cards.

It will work in Sage or sure, and since it has BDA drivers it should also work in Beyond TV but I'd check their site first.

Can you record two shows at once that are both SD? In other words, does the HD tuner also work as a regular tuner for standard definition signals? Also, would you happen to know if this card works with third party PVR apps such as SageTV, BeyondTV, or MythTV? The manufacturer's website states that it require Windows and that it's only MCE/Vista certified. Thanks

It has two tuners, one ATSC and one NTSC. Because of this, you can record from both at the same time. It's useful because most PVR users will want to record an ATSC channel while also recording an NTSC (from either Sat/Cable (SD) or from antenna).

It works just as if you had two different tuners in the PC.

How can it tune to NTSC and ATSC signals at the same time, and what this feature is good for?! There must be some limitation on the frequency separation of two channels ... If analog is transmitted on VHF and digital on UHF (pretty realistic), can it pick both simultaneously?
