[mythtv-users] Dual tuner info

I do have two sources because I have one from the digital cable box and one straight from cable.  I just posted another email about using the digital source on both cards even though one obviously can't tune the higher channels.  Any thoughts on those issues?

That means you set up two separate channel sources for each tuner. If they are for the same source, just assign that sources to both tuners.

Go back into setup, clear out your epg, delete the second video source, assign the first one to both tuner inputs.
