I think the 6920 is the single tuner version?  I'm not sure that
testing that one would satisfy me before ordering as recently on the
list someone was stating they were having problems using more then one
6980 installed at the same time.

If you contact would be willing to lend you a couple I think there are
possibly enough people on the list who may be interested subject to
cost.
