If you have 2 cards then
/dev/dvb/adapter0/... is card 1
/dev/dvb/adapter1/.. is card 2

you will only have 1 frontend per card (most likely the DVB-S) which is the 
default.

Check out http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000

which includes the latest drivers (but you'll only get 1 frontend per card)

Also check 
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-January/023416.html

which is my attempt to get DVB-T and DVB-S working at the same time with 
multiproto/latest kernel/multifrontend. Give it a try
its not very stable and have no idea if it works for everyone.. I'll be 
interested in someone with a HVR4000 and HVR3000 card in the same machine

Thanks
