I'm coming in late to this discussion but has the "show all channels/change to the next available card that supports that channel" option been considered? I actually started looking today at patching that in. The non-technical among us pretty much just want to point at a channel in the guide and watch or record the show (this from my wife). She doesn't care about the whole multiple card issue.

I'd rather see all channels and then have the input and/or card changed to whatever is needed for the channel I selected. I think this would be much more friendly for people who don't even know there are multiple cards/inputs.
That does sound good, but what about the case where you have two tuner cards that receive the same channels, but at different qualities (say, HDTV and non-HDTV, or even just varying signal strengths, maybe one card is newer than the other, or has a different antenna, or is connected to a different source, or something).
You can always implement a system to prioritise which tuner is used for which
channel or even have a flag to disable some channels on a certain tuner.
That would certainly be less confusing for the non-technical end-users in our
families.
