Well, I think we've established we need a better algorithm then just 
choosing the last input.

First MythTV should check if the channel's mplexid is already tuned on 
any of the capturecards.

If it is, it should look for a free, virtual tuner of this card and use 
that.

If it isn't, it should pick the first free physical card, and use a 
virtual tuner of that.

Quite simple, really.
And nobody needs to press any more buttons then they should.

I'm not saying you, or the devs, should do it.
That point has been made very clear, I think :P

I'm sure we'll whip up a patch sooner or later.
