I have a DVB-T card which I've installed on a Proxmox 3 server. I'm trying to get PCI passthrough working with a DVB-T digital TV tuner card on a Ubuntu MythTV VM and I'm part way there. One thing I'm confused about is that the PCI card shows up with two entries when you run lspci on the Proxmox host:

05:02.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05)
05:02.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05)

Why is that? I'm asking because I can only get one of them to pass through to the VM (the one with ID 05:02.2 and I have to define it as hostpci0). At this stage I'm assuming that the DVB-T tuner card isn't going to work if only one of the PCI devices gets passed through (though haven't fully tested it yet).
