As an example, I have a channel that provides 5 streams, so I should be able to record all 5 at the same time, on the same tuner, rather that recording each with a separate tuner.  The channel is:

You will need to do this for each of the 4 input connections you defined earlier. That will let you record those multiples above on the same physical tuner.

Thanks David, I made that change.  Will I be able to see a difference in 
behavior, or will it just work better?
