It's getting better.  I changed Video Sources and Input Connections.  
Now it looks like:

Capture cards >
HDPVR: /dev/video0
HDHOMERUN: 10722347
HDHOMERUN: 10722347
HDHOMERUN: 10722347
HDHOMERUN: 10722347

Video Sources >
HdPvr
Ant-1

Input Connections >
[HDPVR: /dev/video0] (Component) -> HdPvr
[HDHOMERUN: 10722347] (MPEG2TS) -> Ant-1
[HDHOMERUN: 10722347] (MPEG2TS) -> Ant-1
[HDHOMERUN: 10722347] (MPEG2TS) -> Ant-1
[HDHOMERUN: 10722347] (MPEG2TS) -> Ant-1

Now the channel editor looks correct, but all the xml ID's were missing 
for Ant-1.  Schedules-Direct's web site provides the xml ID's , so I 
entered one manually and ran mythfilldatabase.  It worked, so I entered 
the rest manually and re-ran mythfilldatabase...that also worked.  A 
couple of scanned channels didn't match the SD listing, so I skipped 
those; I'll look into them later.

I still have to create the virtual connections, but the system is in use 
now...I'll do next steps tomorrow.
