| Probably not.  But the MyHD MDP-130 PCI HD tuner card can do that.  It

I wonder if, at the driver programming level, that card, or any card, can
simply program either tuner to either mode on any frequency.  If so, it is
only a software "feature" that limits an RF input to "all 8VSB" or "all
QAM".
