I used to have two HDHR-2 tuners connected to three antennas. This is no longer possible with the current setup of MythTV.

Newer HDHomeRuns have only one input per box, so the MythTV setup works for them, but the upcoming ATSC 3.0 HDHomeRun which I
expect to get next month has one input and 4 tuners, two of which are ATSC 3.0, and the other two are ATSC 1.0. So far there are
no ATSC 3.0 stations in San Francisco, but this will be changing soon.

I hope that MythTV has addressed this issue before that happens.
