FWIW, I have an Hdhomerun quatro, which has four tuners.  Sometimes an 
example is helpful.

Capture cards > Created 4 tuners, all pointing to the same ip address, 
each with a unique name (Ant-1, Ant-2, Ant-3, Ant-4)
Video sources > Created a single source, named "Antenna", using 
Schedules Direct JSON API (xmltv) for the Listing Grabber
Input connections > Created 4 connections:
     "Input name" is MPEG2TS on each connection
     "Display name is Ant-1 for first, Ant-2 for second, Ant-3 for 
third, and Ant-4 for forth
     "Video Source" is Antenna for each connection
