Same here.

Hah! I thought I was the only one with this issue. Apparently the
backend gets confused because of the common channel list.

I have two channel sources, 'OTA' (for my HD5000 capture card) and
'RCN' (for the two cable boxes). When I have to make a change to node
2, I first change one of the FireWire nodes' listing to either 'OTA'
(or unassigned, which I believe is also a choice). Now both nodes 0
and 2 show up. I of course reverse the change after making the
settings change I want.

I suppose one of us ought to file a ticket in svn.mythtv.org; I've
done so for others but never got around to this one since it affects
me so infrequently. Mea culpa.
