   I'm not sure about this now, and also not sure how it sits with the 
way SD works.  In principal, I could have one SD config. file now (in 
fact, always could with RT) listing all possible channels, and do one 
fetch on that;  it would save duplication of download for those channels 
in both.

   TBH, I really don't know what the side-effects might be if I told 
Myth that my Freeview and Sky inputs used th same “source”.  It would 
certainly simplify things.

   It was my next thing to investigate.  The Wiki documentation implies 
that “sources” really are only to do with listings.
