Comment (by gigem):

 If you build from source and don't need vbox support, then use --disable-
 vbox when you run configure.  That will eliminate the long delays in
 mythtv-setup.

 Okay, now that a few other bugs have been fixed, please try the following.
 Change capturecard.inputname to be different for each set of virtual cards
 using the same device.  For example, if you have 3 diseqc ports connected
 to /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0, set inputname for all virtual tuners on
 port 1 to 'DVBInput' (they probably already are).  Then set thos on port 2
 to 'DVBInput#2' and those on port 3 to 'DVBInput#3'.  mythtv-setup doesn't
 currently support that, so you'll have to do it in mysql.

 I'm not that familiar with the recorder code and how it arbitrates between
 the virtual tuners sharing the same physical card.  The old code used to
 give each set of tuners a different inputname, so I'm hoping this weill
 work.  If it doesn't, I'll have to dig deeper into that code.
