They are on the same video source because I think my cable company has made
all the channels "digital" on the cable regardless of SD or HD.  I assume
that is why the HDHR can tune any channel in my digital cable schedules
direct lineup just the same as my 1212.  That is what puts them on the same
video source since schedules direct only has one lineup available for
digital cable.  I am not sure how else to explain it.  It not ideal by any
means, but it's what my terrible cable service has provided.  I am also
using the HDHR to pick up channels over cable which it's meant to do OTA so
that is probably not normal.  It just works though so why not use it?

BTW - I used scte65scan-0.2.1 to scan all channels the HDHR could pickup.
That is was alerted me that it picked up nearly everything that my cable
company provided STB did (except those few encrypted I got the 1212 for).
