Unfortunately I have to pick up this thread again since I never fully
got it working.

The problems that still remains are:
- Even though I have 2 different capture cards (Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T
  500 and pctv tripleStick 292e) with a total of 3 adapters it doesn't
  record simultaneous recordings. It always reschedule shows to record
  one at a time. I have set the maximum number of simultaneous recordings
  to 2 for each device.

- I still have trouble finding the HD channels and a few times I
  succeded but I then failed to get a lock on any HD channel.

And here are some questions:
- Can/should I remove the entries in the dtv_multiplex table and where/how
  is that done from within mythtv-setup?

- Will the dtv_multiplex table be updated on next full channel scan?

- Should I do a full channel scan for each /dev/dvb/adapterX/frontendY
  (in total 6) or is it sufficient to a full channel scan for each video
  source?

Any help would be appreciated!
