	Well, I still have not been able to find a solution to this!
Unfortunately, it renders LiveTV unusable since the HD3000 seems to be
the default tuner that mythbackend wants to use and, therefore, I can
never get into LiveTV to change the inputs to one of the PVR-250s.

	I would appreciate any help on this!!

	One thing that I noticed is that the channel table in the
database does not have anything in the mplexid, serviceid, and
atscsrcid columns for the HD3000 channels. Is that how it should be?
