Again, there is no reason at all to believe that Josu needs more than 
one Video Source.

Even if he did, the number of Video Sources has absolutely no effect on 
choosing initial capture card/input for Live TV usage.

A Video Source is simply a unique list of channels that are available on 
an input and the information about how to tune those channels.  So, the 
/only/ time you need multiple video sources is if a) you have various 
inputs that receive different lists of channels or b) you need to tune 
the channels differently for different inputs (i.e. using an external 
channel change script to tune channels on a set-top-box to record on 
your analog capture device (PVR-150, HD-PVR, ...) versus direct tuning 
of a digital channel using a digital capture card's built-in tuner).
