I think you just have to get the input as well when you get the
start channel, and use that in the initial tuning. If you make
sure the initial tuning event specifies the input I think this
will work. But you also should be saving the input on the master
capturecard, you should not be using "GetInputCardID" as that
will just change the input on the child card if you are tuned
to it, this won't be read in when you first tune the recorder.
genOpt.defaultinput should be set correctly initially so you
shouldn't need those tv_rec.cpp changes; if it isn't set correctly,
figure out why...
