I think I tried a setup like that before but not positive.  Do you remember
how you have the group tuners checkbox set? Then the # of tuners field in
Inputs?

Is there a way to get version numbers for the different modules installed?

We are hosting a family reunion this weekend so I wont have time to fiddle
with it until mid next week.

I will try any suggestions then.

Thanks.
