Re: [tvcontrol-api] Why retrieve a list of tuners instead of just one tuner?

i am not sure where to put this but i may have put it in a couple of 
spots..

Here is a concept that I was working on that involves available 
resources.  The resources would be any available source that would 
share a common constraint such as only one of them in the group would 
be available at a time.  This also shows the concept of using 
“players” instead of tuners.  Players only decode and play to a 
specific output zone.  This would allow then an external player to be 
used and to use a resource from the system.  How the system defined 
players interact with the system would be completely up to the system 
to define and implement.  You would use setMedia (or something 
similar) to assign a specific source of a resource to a specific 
player.  I know, of course, this is kind of crude and needs some 
refinement, discussion, and contributions, but I think this would be a
 good way to make the api not dependent on the underlying technology.
