I am using 2 tuners (one DVB-T card and a PVR-350). Both offer the same channels (more or less), so I set all equal channels to the same database ID (by using the same name).

To be clear, you should have two different video sources defined.
For the channels that carry the same station, the "callsign" should
be the same.

Now I got some quality trouble on some channels on tuner 1 and so I would like to advice the recording to use tuner 2. But How do I do this? I set the

You cannot specify the tuner but presumably you have one source
for DVB associated with the DVB input and a source for the analog
channels associated with the PVR-350's input.

priority of the channel on the second tuner (PVR) to 1 as the priority of the tuner 1 channel is 0 but this seams not to work.

I do this all the time. In fact, I use chanel priorities to switch
which input is preferred sometimes for special cases.

mysql> select sourceid,name from videosource;
+----------+--------------+
| sourceid | name         |
+----------+--------------+
|        1 | CoxCableDD   |
|        2 | CoxDigitalDD |

mysql> select chanid,sourceid,channum,callsign,recpriority from channel where 
callsign='KVBC';
+--------+----------+---------+----------+-------------+
| chanid | sourceid | channum | callsign | recpriority |
+--------+----------+---------+----------+-------------+
|   1003 |        1 | 3       | KVBC     |           0 |
|   2123 |        2 | 123     | KVBC     |           0 |

KVBC is on analog 3 and digital 123. My analog inputs are lower
numbered than my digital so it prefers channel 3 by default.

If I go to TV Settings->Recording Priorities->Set Channel Recording
Priorities, I can lower the priority for 3 to give showings on 123
the advantage. I don't want to give 123 an advantage over all other
channels so I lower 3 to gain this effect.

The priority for "LPGA Golf" is 0, Single record is +3 so the total
priority for a single LPGA Golf on 123 is +3 but only +2 on channel
3 so 123 wins. If there was a higher priority show that needed the
digital input then "LPGA Golf" would record on channel 3 from one of
the analog inputs.
