[mythtv] Multiple DVB tuner cards - quicker channel changes suggestion

Here's a suggestion regarding those with multiple tuner cards that are idle
when watching Live TV.

Why not pre-tune the unused card into the next channel in the sequence so
when you select next channel, it swaps to the other card which is ready to
go.

It takes me around 3-5 seconds to swap channels here in Australia
(cx88-based DVB - Fusion HDTV), some of which is due to the tuning.

Standalone set top boxes here in Australia change channels within 1 second.

Cheers,
Richard.
