Thanks Daniel - that's what I thought it was trying to do. As noted in
my commit, it was a simple error.

I've not addressed the issue of whether the Input Switching should be
removed or not - there seems to be a difference of opinion. If someone
wants to make an 'executive' decision, then I'll happily take it out.

This has however highlighted another, I think unrelated, issue.

I use 2 inputs on my pvr-150. One is connected to a cable stb
(Composite 1) and the other is an analogue aerial input (Tuner 1).
These are different sources. Whenever I select the analogue tuner,
either directly via the 'Input switching' or indirectly via its
source, it always switches to the Composite input if I'm on a
different card. It uses the correct input if I'm already on that card.

Is this the intended behaviour? The composite input is defined first
in the db but the tuner is designated as the default input.

regards

Mark
