Normal? Maybe, but nonetheless sub-optimal. A DVB tuner tuned to a
single channel delivers a full transport stream, which can then be de-multiplexed
into several program streams. There's no fundamental reason why
mythbackend couldn't record multiple programs from a single DVB tuner,
but it's not currently implemented, probably because the current architecture
is based on the analog model of only one program per tuner.
