[mythtv-users] Switching input cards (rather than just inputs on the card)?

[Josh]

This is a complete shot in the dark as I've never tried it, but in theory
once you set up both cards in the setup program and assigned them different
video sources and such, it would work fine. BUT theres a catch, the channels
on each card have to be different. This wouldn't be so bad for a few
channels, but if you're dealing with something like digital cable and
satellite for example, it would just plain suck. If the two cards have
unique channels, then whenever you tune to a specific channel it should use
that card anyway.

Any particular setup in mind? I'd be interested in seeing how its
implemented once all the quirks are worked out.

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to switch to a different input card 
when watching Live TV rather than just being able to switch inputs on the 
current card?  Would this be hard to implement?  I've searched the 
archives and mostly found that this feature did not exist a few months 
back, but was just wondering if anyone has implemented it?  I need this 
because I have more than one input card with completely different inputs 
but currently can only watch the default input card..

Thanks
Jason
