Looks like I was killing the messenger there, Tom.

I'm having a heck of a time sorting through the code due to its the highly modular nature and my lack of experience with it. I do see what looks like some leftovers from a "new" implementation of LiveTV, but I'm not yet "following" it very well. I do have some new data though: Over the weekend I set all the DTV box channels' channum to unique (from the DishTV lineup) integers. It tested ok with a full frontend. Then I kept tuner 1 busy with recordings and played with the mvpmc. When tuner 1 was kept busy, the tuner 2 channels all worked perfectly from the mvpmc (i.e., tuning them from the tv guide)! Later, I was watching LiveTV from the mvpmc when a scheduled recording should have started (consuming the tuner on the backend). I got the "Lost MythTV connection" or similar warning. When I press any button to clear that warning, I'm presented with a LiveTV channel selection menu very, very similar to that used to present recordings. I cannot access this magical screen any other way than to have a MythTV connection error. Once it comes up once, it is available at any time by pressing the stop button during LiveTV playback. All channels on all tuners successfully tune from this wonderful screen, but, once you exit the LiveTV session, this menu is inaccessible; pressing Stop on the remote just returns the root menu for MythTV. So, there IS code in there somewhere to make multiple tuners workable, it just seems to be disabled with backdoor access only enabled by an error condition. Also, in a general way, mvpmc seems to refer to tuners by their sourceid, not their cardid or cardinputid. My other inquiry still holds: Has anyone seen the menu that provides the option to change tuners in LiveTV?
