Do both HDPVRs use the same input types (component, etc)?

Does MythTV handle setting/changing the inputs okay?

Did you set 'default_audio_input' and 'default_video_input' under 
/etc/modprobe.d?

FYI: Ubuntu 12lts now has explicit entries for each HDPVR under 
'/dev/v4l/by-id' and '/dev/v4l/by-path' and that's how I reference them 
in mythtv-setup (as I hadn't finished udev script).
I don't think they were there a year ago.

But I'll likely keep the udev script for clarity, and it also assigns 
links to the HDPVRs IR devices:
SUBSYSTEM!="lirc", GOTO="local_assign_end"
# hdpvr1 IR blaster: ATTRS{product}=="Hauppauge HD PVR",
ATTRS{serial}=="00A9ABCD", SYMLINK+="lirc-hdpvr1"
# hdpvr2 IR blaster
ATTRS{serial}=="00A81234", SYMLINK+="lirc-hdpvr2"

Now to look at 'Upstart' for multiple lirc daemons (works, just needs 
tweaking).

Thanks All,
MC
