Guys,
Is there a setting that will make myth use one card as a priority before it
uses another?
I have a similar issue -- I have two cards, one tuning from an antenna, one inputting from a satelliteI pull in (via antenna) locals in Buffalo, NY and Toronto, ON. They are in very different directions, so I need to use an antenna rotor to make the Buffalo stations come in. Satellite has the same channels on it. Because it is difficult to predict whether the antenna will be tuned correctly at any given time, I have set the 'chanpriority' in the channels table of the mythtv database higher (i.e. 3 or 4) on the Buffalo channels on satellite.
MythTV recognizes stations with identical callsigns to be the same, so increasing the chanpriority causes it to prefer recording Buffalo stations from satellite, unless it is otherwise occupied -- it will then switch to antenna (possibly not pointed in the right direction, but better than nothing).
If you set 'chanpriority' on the channels coming in through the DVB-T card to higher than that of the chanpriority of channels coming in through the set-top box, it should rather record from the DVB-T card unless it can avoid it.
Untested SQL for doing this (WARNING! COULD BORK YOUR DATABASE IF IT ISN"T QUITE RIGHT!)
UPDATE channel SET chanpriority=5 WHERE sourceid=42;
.. put the sourceid of your DVB-T card in where I've put '42'.
