Ah, ok - now I understand the idea of SourceCaps better - of course, my 
solution really amounts to the same as yours. I'd still vote for coupling 
the sources to resources in sources.conf rather than setup.conf though; it 
just seems more appropriate to me.

My thanks to Carsten and Christian for their efforts. Unfortunately having 
fairly limited experience in Linux I have to rely on others to do the 
complicated bits for me (viz. lirc, etc.), so I'm currently using the 
debian packages from e-tobi.net, in which the SourceCaps patch is not 
currently included. That's why I had to change the CA field when I added my 
DVB-T card.

I'll have to try to start configuring and compiling my own systems, but at 
the moment, my 3-year old and 1-year old seem more interested in grabbing 
the keyboard off me, and those Balamory recordings need to be accessible at 
all times, just in case.
