I'm not quite sure of your math there. I just got my "DTA Pod" attached 
to my PVR-500 so I'm pretty sure about the inputs.

The card has two tuners. Each tuner can tune either the *shared* single 
RF input or it's *individual* S-video or Composite input. I do see the 
second header on the card. I assumed it was for something other than 
external ports.

I could have sworn that mythtv-setup only lists the three inputs for 
each encoder.
