Ah, they're talking about locking the tuners on the HDHR so that /it/ 
knows they're in use, rather than telling MythTV that the tuner isn't 
available for recording?  I would have assumed the drivers or firmware 
would handle that automatically.  I guess someone must have come up with 
a reason why an in-use tuner shouldn't be locked?
