You *do* know which inputs are in use. When you press 'M' for menu and then 
'Change Source' you will see displayed a list of available tuners. This list 
won't contain any tuner that is in use (or not available because the related 
back end is switched off). Just pick one of the free ones.

The situation is slightly more complicated if you have more than one source, 
which shouldn't be a problem for your own case as I understand it. The list is a 
list of tuners, and doesn't indicate which source each tuner is associated with. 
Careful tuner naming should solve that problem.
