 It seems that ticket #10043 has been locked so I can't respond to the
 decision to do nothing. I would have rather not done it this way, but I
 can't find another way to request reconsideration.

 ---------Response to Ticket #10043----------------

 When configured properly the HDHR treats its tuners as virtual tuners.
 Locking them allows MythTV to retain an exclusive hold on a tuner so
 alternate access methods don't euthanize recordings. If there is another
 tuner available, the HDHR will allow it to grab it, otherwise the request
 will fail. When MythTV doesn't lock the tuners, even if there are open
 tuners it is quite likely that recordings will be truncated.

 The only time you need MythTV to explictly fail over to a new tuner is if
 multiple HDHR devices are in the pool. While this would be a great
 feature, the scope is far greater than just fixing how MythTV works with
 the HDHR.

 Thanks
