Video source is the "myth term" for a lineup/logical mapping of
listings information to a group of scanned/downloaded channels.  I
have often argued that "listings source" might be better in most
cases, but discussions on the topic have become near-religious in the
past.

For different sources/lineups/providers/technologies, you would create
a unique video source.  But for, say, four QAM tuners all hooked up to
Comcast, you would use the same one.
