I'm the OP in that first thread, and I disagree that what's described 
in the second thread is the same thing.

I can understand the difficulty in trying to decide which channels 
are valid when both cards are capable of showing different sets of 
channels. But in my setup this is not the case. Both cards use 
exactly the same two providers. Furthermore, the problem I'm seeing 
happens even if nothing is being recorded.

Not to be snippy, but I simply can't understand how anyone would 
consider the removal of a long-standing capability to be desired 
behavior. My annoyed wife certainly doesn't, either :-).

You have to think of this from the point of view of an 
unsophisticated user, not a programmer. The user thinks, "these are 
the channels we subscribe to, so I should be able to browse among 
them." The fact that one set of channels comes from cable TV and 
another set from satellite is irrelevant them.
