This will work fine. You will need to make two copies of your Channel change
script.
I have changechannel and changechannel2 and in the script specify which port
they control eg. /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1. The myth tv setup program already
allows for specifying a separate program to control channel changing per
each tuner.
