I have made 1 video source per satellite. But I already discovered the 
problem: it's just not a feature.

The devs say you need to change the channel using the TV guide.
i have found a patch for this here:
http://www.ronfrazier.net/ronfrazier.net/mythtv/#BrowseTuners

But it only applies on 0.21-fixes (It does apply on the trunk with a few 
tweaks but does not work, anyway.)

Thank you for your input.
