Wouldn't MythTV would cache it?  I have two different lineups that  
have overlapping channels, and the overlapped ones are only  
downloaded once.

That has always seemed like kind of a hack to me, because it means  
going back and forth a couple times with Myth and the SD channel  
editor and then altering how MythTV runs its updates.  It just seems  
clumsy and error prone.
