Sure. I'm running a DPANDA(tda1004x+budget-ci) and an Avermedia
(sp887x+dvb-bt8xx) and it works fine.

Does that message occur when you load the modules or start some software
to actually use the card? What software are you running to "start" the 
second card?

Is it dvbstream by any chance? Looks like both instances of that would
try to use the same TCP/UDP ports, which would give you the above error
message. I don't know what the fix would be for that.
