Just so I don't mess this up.  I have a HVR2250 PCIe card and a 
HDHomeRun Connect.  Both are now setup for OTA but the existing Video 
source is ScheduleDirect.

Would I just need to Add a Video Source for OTA EPG guide data and then 
delete one of the dual tuners connection and add one from the new video 
source??
