</div>So this is changing the input connection 'Input priority' (on the second<br>
page of the setup wizard). I've elevated the two DVB-S cards to '10'.<br>

card seems to have magically been assigned an input group. In the context of<br>
multi-rec, is this mechanism by which the virtual-tuners are bonded<br>
together? I have found very little documentation on this, just [1].<br>

For example, when Freeview was using horizontal polarity transponders it was not possible to simultaneously tune a Freeview channel with a DVB card and a Sky box. You could have put the DVB card input and the Sky capture card input in the same input group to prevent both being used at the same time. I doubt you have the sort of setup that requires input groups - and I expect you'd know it if you did!<br>
