Whew!  Good.  At least my brain wasn't failing me. ;-)

Not concerned about the ALSA config, my backend just happens to have
two
sound cards - so I know how to do that, I just don't have any pci
slots
left for another tuner.  hmmmm.... I do have a spare sound card....
and
another system that I just use to test out stuff on..... maybe I can
put
the extra tuners in there and set it up as a slave back-end.  That'll
burn all that "spare time" I have. ;-)

Thanks for the clarification.

On the other hand, you could get a tuner that doesn't require a sound
card, like and IVTV based card and save the PCI slots...
