Hi
I currently have 2 x WinTV Dual DVB-T tuners and was wondering if I can install a third TV tuner, a Leadtek PCI DTV2000DS ?
In other words, can I have a mixture of TV tuners from different manufacturers ?
Regards
Three different TV tuners?

Yes, I have done this in the past, this will work. Time to time there can be some issues, like if a tuner is slower than the other tuner for channel changes, it could cause performance issues but, overall media center handles it very well.
The Only Out of the box limits is a max of 4 of each type of tuner. 4 X cablecard, 4X OTA, 4X QAM, etc....but, as you might know with a 3rd party plug in this can be extended.

the only problem I had was driver issues but in my case I couldn't even use 2 tuner cards at the same time..
I have ASUS My Cinema-EHC3-150NAQFMAVRC
both would work separately but not together
what can you say they cost me $15 each
but yes as the previous person said you can do this if the drivers work together
your other solution would be Network tuners like a SiliconDust or SimpleTV
I have a simpleTV .. it does work but support for it is a bit limited.

I have been using AVerTV Hybrid Volar Max and Diamond ATI TV Wonder HD750 together for about a year on a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Premium. They are recognized fine by WMC and work smoothly together.
Just came across this forum because of the EPG cutover (thanks all, reconfigured tv and used Guide tool to fix a few discrepancies and the guide rolls on!).
