No, that's not what I'm getting at.  The three tuners are all tied up and was 
able to switch between the muxes momentarily.

Tuner 1 - Channel 7 - Various other channels available from this mux
Tuner 2 - Channel 9 - ditto
Tuner 3 - Channel 10 - ditto


I should be able to switch between any channel from the muxes sitting on each 
of the tuners.  So, any channel available from the muxes that transmit 
channels 7, 9 and 10.

After loading up each of the tuners with recordings I was able to make one 
correct switch.  When selecting channel 2 (which isn't available from either 
of the three muxes sitting on the tuners) it correctly selected the closest 
channel that was available.  But then I couldn't select a channel from one of 
the other muxes without manually selecting another input first.  It decided to 
lock itself to just the mux that channel 7 was transmitting on.
