Is anyone actively working on this?  I finally got my pvr250 working, but
to use it sanely in the same box as the bttv card, I need to be able to
select different profiles for each card.  I dunno that I'm keen on adding
multiple 'quality' profiles for each card (I see the benefit, but that
implies being able to choose which profile to use when selecting a
program to record, and seems like a lot of work).  If I create a patch
that associates the current profiles with a given card, would this be
accepted as a first step to your greater goal?

It would simply mean that the profile menu would look something like:
Default (card1)
LiveTV (card1)
Transcode (card1)
Default(card2)
LiveTV (card2)
Transcode (Card2)

This would also let me associate a profile with auto-transcoding, rather
than having it always on/off (which is what Ineed, since there is no
reason to transcode my MPEG2 streams)
