Yes.
Not sure, though, if it's possible to have several grabbers per card, so 
that I can grab German and UK channels, which are both available via the 
same satellite (I'd guess).

Then, if a user selects an active list, instead of zapping all the channels, will do with a join between channelslists and channels, so then will do only with a subset of the channels. Changing between active list might be done using a keybinding... Doesn't it makes sense?

It adds complexity - a new concept, new keybindings etc.. Aren't presets 
sufficient? You can order the channels by subject, so that 30-36 are 
news channels, 40-45 is MTV and co etc.. I don't think it hurts the user 
much, though, if the added functionality is optional (no "active list" 
unless specifically invoked).
