[mythtv] Dual tuner card

[IvanK.]

On the topic of multiple tuners in a system.  Suppose you control them thru 
lirc with one remote, how do you tell mythtv which tuner you're targetting?

Also, since I have a cable box that I have to control via lirc, in order to 
have two tuners I suppose I need two transceivers, one to control each box 
(did I say I have a second cable box?) and to get input from a remote.  Or do 
I need one receiver and two transmitters?  I saw someone claim on this list 
that lirc doesn't support two devices at the same time.  True or False?
Can I have something like a "meta" key on a remote so that if I press that key 
and 12, the remote will change tuner2 to channel 12, while pressing 12 alon 
will change the first tuner to channel 12?

Thanks,
IvanK.
