Yep, I had a similar problem with DVB-T with different cards being 
better at receiving different channels, and I'm afraid multiple input 
sources is the only solution (it's the only way that Myth will 
distinguish between the cards). It's a bit of a pain setting up the 
multiple input sources, but works ok once done. Your problem might then 
be making sure that the card you want is on the correct DVB-T number 
each time you boot.

Cheers,

John
