You know you could change the order of the capture cards in the backend
setup and then you wouldn't have to change cards every time.  You'd have
to delete the cards first and then reenter them with the PVR250 card
first. Then reassign the source to the cards. There is a preferences field
in the capturecard table, which presumably would allow you to adjust the
card ordering without doing any of the above, but I've never looked at it
to see if it works.
