At first glance, I thought this would be a good feature suggestion
for the Myth devs: create a dummy "provider" which is just called
"VCR" (or whatever you want to call it.) That way, you would assign
the card input to this provider, and not have to worry about it
trying to change channels or anything like that.
Then I realized something. Would I really want to run my VCR through
MythTV? With the 2-second encode/decode lag, fast-forward/rewind on
the VCR would become utterly useless.
