When I click on "system status" in mythweb it shows you exactly what each 
tuner card is doing (recording, watching TV) and it even tells you which 
channel and show etc.  So mythtv already knows what's going with each of the 
capture cards.  I guess all that needs to happen now is a scheduled recording 
needs to grab the free card.
