hello: Is there any way to set which tuner LiveTV will default to (such that it picks a tuner that would not necessarily be the same as what recordings would choose)?
I have digital cable and a single set-top box connected to a PVR-250. I've also added a PVR-500 with a direct RF feed (which has access only to the analog channels). I've set my tuner prioritys with the 500's tuners being higher priority than the 250. I've also configured the video sources so myth knows and understands that the 500's have a subset of the channels the 250 gets. So when I schedule a recording on an analog channel (as 95% of my recordings are), it uses a 500 tuner if available; using the 250 only if both tuners on the 500 are busy. This is good. If I schedule a recording on a digital channel, myth automatically schedules it on the 250, which is also good. Now, unfortunately, liveTV defaults to one of the 500's most of the time. I have set a "select a tuner less likely to interfeer with recordings" option, which usually results in giving me the second tuner on the 500. Most of the users in the house often use liveTV, and like to browse all the channels, including the digital ones. Right now, I've had to teach them to use the "y" command to cycle through the tuners until they get the right one. This actually has a fairly high failure rate (the user education end of it), and has been leading to considerable frustration with using Myth here. If I could only make LiveTV choose the 250's tuner by default (which is available most of the time because nearly all our recording occurs on the 500), this would fix a lot of our user problems. Is there some way to set this? Perhaps I need to edit the database directly? Any suggestions?
