Can't I just reuse the source I have linked to the capture card that is
attached to my cable box in Input connections rather than creating a
duplicate Video source?

Does the channel number in my .m3u file need to be the same as the
channel on my cable or does the xmltvid take care of getting the right
data for the channel regardless of it's numberical (can callsign?)
designation?

It does though.

That seems to contradict the example at:

Yeah, I don't think that is how this .m3u8 is working.  The URLs in it
are not a list of choices (i.e. copies of the same stream at different
resolutions/bitrates/etc.) to fetch from but rather the stream
"chunked" up into different URLs they are used round-robin to fetch the
stream.
