that was my original reaction too. but then i thought about how i would
use it.
with 4 cards and the following lineup:
card 1 - tuner - source 1
card 1 - s-video - source 2
card 2 - tuner - source 1
card 3 - tuner - source 1
card 3 - s-video - source 3
card 4 - tuner - source 1
card 4 - s-video - source 3
what i really would want is to name sources and have a key to cycle
through them (plus the ability to order and define a priority). i really
don't care if i'm getting a program from source 3 on card 3 or card 4. i
do sort of care that i'm getting a program from source 1 on card 1; as
that removes the ability for someone else to watch a program from source 2
(of which i only have one source).
maybe this is way too complicated a scheme, but i'm sure that my setup is
by on means as complicated as some people on this list.
what do you think?
i know, send in the patch :-)
