Half agree, but it's a good point.  Obviously it would be possible for 
all the cards to be tied up and in some countries this would then mean 
you can't update the scheduler, but I think this is a small thing really 
because half the countries don't have that accurate EIT data, and most 
of us have lived with non updating data for many years anyway

But as you say the chances of a free tuner go up in general so that has 
got to be a good thing

I think as you said it would not be "too" hard to add multiple channels 
per card.  At the most basic I would suggest starting by grouping 
channels by multiplex and then the query itself can do a lot of the work
