[mythtv-users] MythTV not using virtual tuners

I have 2 HD-5500 cards in my MythTV system. I have deleted and
reconfigured each card to have 3 virtual tuners. MythTV says I have
6 virtual turners available. However, when I schedule shows, only 2
tuners are ever used. Do I have to configure MythFrontend to use all
tuners or should it just automatically happen?
I'm not sure if I know how/when Multirec is going to work for me.
Documentation says that I can do simultaneous recordings on the same
stream. However, other people say I can do simultaneous recording on
different channels. Is a channel the same thing as as stream? If I
am receiving ATSC programming over the airwaves in Dallas, Tx, should
I be able to record 6 shows at once?
