This method has an advntage because you have complete control over what channel each card is tunned to...
which doesnt work, because the tv-service decides which tv-card is used by the tvcard-algorithm.

i think that a user shouldnt be able to do that.
it would also cause quite some issues. i.e. if you use TV-Cards with different broadcast systems (dvb -t, -s, -c, anaog, atsc...). some channels mabye only work on one card, and not on an other.
and i do not realy see a pro, except the "i have full control" feeling

which card is tuned for which channel, has to stay in control of the TV-Server imo. to keep the system simple.
