In the channel editor, increase the priority for the channels on the better quality source you prefer to have recorded from. To have MythTV only show 1 copy of a channel you get from multiple sources, you need to make the NAME and CALLSIGN fields the same if I remember correctly (and obv the xmltvid). I also have the CHANNUM field the same for multiple copies. For example, in the UK I have 3 'copies' of BBC1 on cable, DVB and analogue. I've got CHANNUM=101, NAME=BBC ONE, and CALLSIGN=BBC1. Make using mythweb much quicker as you only see 1 entry for BBC1. Settings priorities for the recording cards and individual channels takes care over which card will record which channel.
