Can I ask you why you want to do this? For a mythtv setup, I would
have a tuner card for the OTA recordings, and another for the Cable
recordings. I see that you mentioned plugging into your TV, so I
presume this is not for recordings? I think an A/B switch might be
your best solution for TV input...
