That you can change the "video source" for a existing connection and not the
LNB port seems illogical.  If the only way to change a port selection is 
to delete a input connection then create a new one, thats prone to 
error. By its very nature a rotor system with several LNB input 
selections will have a large layout that's subject to many changes.
