It took a little juggling around of our TV cards in the house and I 
finally got 2 cards to cooperate and now the warning message has gone away.

We use "Powerview" tv cards. You can find details on our forums here:

Funny thing, even when I put in the same tv-cards some of them gave me 
problems. Weird. I have a Brooktree tv-card and it looks like it takes 
away two PCI slots -- one for audio and another for video.

Anyway, 2 of our Powerview tv-cards match and I'll try it out with these.

Cheers,

Marc
