Sorry, I can't have been clear enough, its set to four for each tuner.
i.e. from mythweb
Encoder 1 is local on mythtv0 and is not recording.
Encoder 2 is local on mythtv0 and is not recording.

I understand the principle, I'm not sure it applies to the above
scenario. I'll add in the mux numbers and check it out, as you say it
might be padding that's causing it to be > 4, and stopping sequential
virtual tuner use.

Is this detailed somewhere?
Is there a sql command that will drop out whether my tuners are setup as
Ronald described?
