I am new to using input groups, but there are some bugs in this area.

1) I've got an HVR-1950. I added the card twice, once for the analog 
portion and once for the digital portion.  When I added it as a DVB for 
the digital side, mythtv-setup automagically changed Input Group 1: to 
HDR_/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 rather than generic. I went back and 
edited the analog input and set the Input Group 1: to be the same name ( 
HDR_/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0)

 I then Watch Live TV and select the analog side of the tuner. I then 
press 'R' to record a program. Then under LiveTV, I select bring up the 
menu, select a tuner and select the digital side. The frontend hangs.
 a) It shouldnt hang - it should timeout at some point
 b) Assuming i understand input groups, the choice should not have even 
been on the choose tuner menu - it looks like the logic that is used 
when entering watch tv needs to be used after a user starts recording 
within live tv mode.

2) When I was inside the Input Connections, I clicked the 'Create a New 
Input Group'. I started to type the word HVR1950 on the keyboard. After 
the HVR, the text input became buggy. It started showing characters that 
I did not type. Something is buggy there.

3) If I exit watch tv and re-enter it, it tells me 'All tuners are Busy. 
Select a recording: Exit or Chan xx'. This sounds like the correct 
behavior. However, once I select the 'Chan xx view mode', it is 
impossible to exit. The menu does not work and escape does not work. 
Killing the frontend seems like the only way.

(note sure it matters but I'm using MythCenter theme)
