[mythtv] Dual tuners, LiveTV, why must LiveTV always be interrupted?

[Kevin Hjelden]

Be careful about how you implement this. I've got two tuners as well and 
they aren't connected to the same input source (one is hooked to comcast 
basic cable, and the other to my directv tuner). Will your code be able 
to adjust for this?

I just wanted to bring up something because you might not be thinking 
about it.
