Assuming you mean "video sources" rather than "tuner", then I've seen 
the same thing. I have two sources (let's call them Source1 and Source2) 
with several channels duplicated. When I first go into the channel 
editor I see stuff like:

BBC ONE (1) (Source1)
BBC ONE (1) (Source2)
BBC TWO (2) (Source1)
BBC TWO (2) (Source2)

If I go into a channel then press Escape (I don't even have to change 
anything), the list changes to stuff like:

BBC ONE (1)
BBC ONE (1)
BBC TWO (2)
BBC TWO (2)

In other words, all the channels are still listed, but it is no longer 
clear which one is on which source. This is with the Ubuntu 0.21 packages.

I haven't quite got my head round the trac etiquette to know whether 
this is allowed to be filed as a bug or not.

Cheers,

John
