Mike is correct. As an addendum, if both (or more) cards are the same
type you only need to create a second input source (by rescanning)
_if_ you want different cards to receive different channels.

By creating a single video source of channels/listings and associating
all similar inputs with that video source, you are telling MythTV that
those inputs can receive (i.e. tune to) and should record from any
channels available on that source.

Cheers,
Nick
