You can only use one tuner at a time.  Firewire will only display what 
you're watching.  Kinda makes the dual tuner useless when using myth.

I'm actually thinking of adding a second firewire cable to help overcome 
the Node ID switching.  I've got to find a period where I'll be home and 
have time to play without messing up my recordings.  I'll send an update 
once I've tested.
