Not that I know of (or at least not that seems to work/supported by the 
linux drivers).  The HVR4000 isn't exactly that well documented as to 
what works / howtos for linux.

As far as I know, there is only 1 MPEG encoder on the card, which is 
shared between either DVB-S or DVB-T.  Also not sure what happens when 
you tune DVB-T, whether the analog will still work.  Won't know until 
there is a DVB-T signal to play with.
