ISTR someone suggesting on one of the mythtv lists that it should be
possible to record two different channels from the same mux at the
same time with only a single DVB-T card, so I'm sure it should be
possible to record the entire output of each mux, assuming you have
enough bandwidth between memory and the hard disks.

Not sure what the fascination would be with recording the entire output
of dozens of channels of utter drivel, mind :)
