I thought they just had different PIDs, but broadcast at different times 
- I didn't realise they shared the same PIDs....

There's a note about this in the Dxr3 plugin README I think - in the 
/video/setup.conf, change EPGTimeout to zero.

The Dxr3 audio output has no mixer, so it is not possible to change the
