I'm not using the Iguana transceiver but in my dual-tuner setup I made the
transmitter selection one of the parameters to my channel change script. So in
myth I specified the channel change script as "myscriptname 1" for the first
tuner and "myscriptname 2" for the second. This way I have only one script to
maintain. I'll be happy to share it if you want.
