Pinnacle Diversitystick and ProDVB: both receivers

Hi experts!
I have only the PCTV2000e-driver of the Diversitystick (without Pinnacle MediaCenter!) installed and use ProgDVB (4.85.1 (1.35)).
In ProgDVB I see both receivers separate in the equipment list:
{DVB-T} {Federal Employers Association} DiBcom digitally Tuner (Dev 1 Path0) and
{DVB-T} {Federal Employers Association} DiBcom digitally Tuner (Dev 1 Path1).
TV-receipt is ok with both receivers separately.
For the increase of the receiving power, how/where I can interconnection of the two receivers (Diversityfunction!) at the stick or in ProgDVB?

How does the original application handle this?
May even be a driver option, perhaps (dotrol) only available from the original software (at install setup)

i don't know any DVB software, that supports diversity reception.
As this tuner / antenna diversity can, due to it's concept, improve reception up to maximal 3dB, no more, you mkay even think about using a better antenna with a higher gain and use the tuners seperately ;)
Talking antennas means, better (bigger / more) reception elements, not amplifiers.
Even a normal size dipol antenna would already provide around 3dB and more extra gain, compared to a (semi-)omni-directional stick.
