Comment (by dani@…):

 Hi,
 I am wondering if anything is going to be done to restore the 'killer'
 feature in MythTV where multiple LNBs can be used on a DiSEqC switch as
 well as cascading if necessary. In previous versions the additional LNB
 inputs branch under the DVB-S/S2 adapter separately making it very easy to
 configure from within mythtv-setup with multiple populated 4-port DiSEqC
 switches.

 Part of the dump from a past working setup is the following:

 Merging card input with the capturecard table might represent an
 optimisation from a development standpoint but it is horrific for the end
 user. The strength of MythTV is its felixibility and ability to mix
 analogue and digital devices as allowing the end user to use it set it up
 to meet all his requirements. Few other systems can match that especially
 from a backend standpoint. I am not able to set up separate DVB device for
 each LNB as they show up as 'already used.' What can I do to solve this
 problem as I am stuck with setting up the backend as a result?
