Star TV in singapore has a mode where it shows all the channels at once on the screen and you highlight the one you want and get the audio for that.

Any idea how it is doing that? I mean surely there's only one tuner in the cable box? I'm assuming that even if the MythTV software allowed multiple screens on the one screen you'd only be able to get as many as you have tuners for.

Probably they 'multiplex' the channels at the cable company and broadcast the multichannel out on a single channel. Then allow the tuner to get the live audio depending on which part of the channel you are on. Just speculating.

There's nothing preventing you from starting more than one
instance of mythfronted. Set your GUI size to about 1/4 of
your screen size and start up to four instances. Only one
can grab the audio out device and the others can be run with
no audio.
