[mythtv-users] Multi-tuner setup

I have a DVB-C tuner, and a dual DVB-S2 tuner in my BE/FE combo. They
are set up as 3 capture cards, with two different video sources, one
for DVB-C and one for DVB-S2. There are therefore 3 video inputs using
the 3 capture cards and two video sources.

So far so good. I can record and view both from DVB-C and DVB-S2.

However, I have the feeling that one of the DVB-S2 inputs is not
working. I would expect the "Y" key in Live TV to switch between all
three inputs, but it only sees two, and I the occasional DVB-S2
recording fails, I think when there is another one running
simultaneously. However, the backend finds channels from either DVB-S2
input when doing a scan. The "C" key in Live TV simply shows the name
of the input, but doesn't change anything.

Apart from deleting the DVB-S2 capture cards, reconnecting one,
testing it via Live TV, deleting it, and testing the other, is there
any way of checking that both DVB-S2 inputs are working properly?

Regards

Jeff
