This is an interesting thought. It can even be extended to having a
separate channel group per videosource. This would make it possible to
switch the Program Guide from e.g. terrestrial to cable or from one
satellite to another while the system is running.
An additional challenge would be then to insure that if you select a
program on one videosource that the program is indeed recorded from
that videosource and not from another where the same program is also
present.
