I have done a fair bit of research, but havent found anything that says this outright..
Thanks

I am using 2 right now and plan to add a third this weekend (a really inexpensive one, btw! like 10€ with a remote and internal antenna that I will never use... I cannot believe how cheap this USB dongles are, and still work).
I've seen that there seems to be some internal option to add more "weight" to one or another to be used preferently, but right now tvheadend uses as many as you have linux support to in an "egalitarian" status. With 3 you could have up to 6 - 12 simultaneous clients watching different shows, since each card can process a different mux, and each mux usually has 2 - 4 channels.
It works incredibly well!! The only thing I miss is that I would like to be capable of force using the one with better antenna connection whenever is available instead of another one...
