If I'm following that, the DLNA viewer will use the lowest-numbered 
tuner that isn't locked.  So to make it mostly work with Myth, you can 
set the tuner priority in Myth to be stronger for the higher-numbered 
tuners.  Of course, proper tuner locking would be much better.

As a side note, the forum at SiliconDust indicates that DLNA mode only 
works for people registered in the beta program, so is that misleading, 
or is there more to setting it up than just loading the beta firmware?
