I think I will probably touch the edges of number 2 in your list - If I have 
any degree of success, I could try and do the job properly, but so far I am 
adding an option so that all cards are equal, but ordered by source id as is 
already done. I also thought that I'd add an option to make the scheduler try 
to avoid using the first card when possible - This would be for LiveTV users.

Apart from that, I am aiming for some optimisations speed wise, and an attempt 
to make the scheduler understand that different sources can still carry the 
same channels, or a sub/superset of them. I would like to implement the 
"shareable" flag in the scheduler, and there is a bug where a program can be 
scheduled as a not-record incorrectly.

Today I managed to get both my tuners working. Tomorrow, I install the new 
code and play ;-) I also have a segfault to track down and/or report to the list.

Phew!
Steve
