Frank Nobis <fn@radio-do.de> in Germany has one. The european version of the card has these features Bt878, Philips Tuner. (nothing new there) A MSP3415 NICAM Stereo decoder chip (which the Bt848 driver supports) Another chip (was it a DSP35xx ???) which does the dolby decoding. You get normal stereo TV without having to initialise the Dolby chip, so the current Bt848 driver works with the card in Stereo TV mode. Frank has written some code to probe and configure the Dolby card (he downloaded the data sheet), but we have not integrated anything into the Bt848 driver yet. In addition, I've already spoke to my contacts at Hauppauge, so I know the hardware layout of the card. As far as I know, on the back are several line out sockets, one for normal Left and Right from the TV/FM Radio/NICAM stereo signal. The others drive your other speaker sets. So Randall, if you fancy getting one, we can have support for it in the driver without any problems.
