Cable TV in the USA/CANADA uses multiplexed streams on the same 
frequency. I get 10 different ATSC (QAM_256) channel streams on the same 
freq on my cable. These are differentiated by the serviceid.

So it is quite possible that one tuner, could record all of the programs 
being sent on that frequency.

Question whether it would not be more resource friendly to record the 
entire stream and to demux it only upon playback? (Rather than use 
hardware/software to split and record the stream at record-time).
