Yes, I am very much looking forward to that, in case anybody decides to 
implement that. I won't, because it will probably need extensive changes 
to MythTV's core code, including the protocol, and it's not worth the 
time for me personally, it's cheaper to buy more cards.

I specifically wrote the code with that in mind, that the code would be 
able to tune to several channels per card at once. I should work (modulo 
bugs) out of the box, if the other MythTV code is adapted.

I think the DB schema also is sufficient. You just need to compare all 
the channel tuning parameters. If they all match apart from the PIDs, 
the channels are on the same transponder and you can tune to them amt 
the same time. The decision would have to be made by the DVBChannel 
class, and that's where it belongs IMHO.
