Sweetness. I was able to get this working by creating multiple inputs 
for the same card :)
under cardinput I did this:
This allows them to record off the correct card and keep the channel 
listings. I bet I probably can't go into input in setup or it may screw 
things up. I'm unsure at this point what the effects of doing this are 
going to be so I'll keep my fingers crossed

5    4    1    DVBInput        2    N        753    0        0    
11700000    10600000    9750000    QAM    0    0    0    0
6    4    5    DVBinput        2    N        753    0        0    
11700000    10600000    9750000    QAM2    0    0    0    0
7    4    6    DVBInput        2    N        9420    0        0    
11700000    10600000    9750000    QAM3    0    0    0    0

and now these channels work:
