Comment:

 Leaving ticket #10043 locked was inadvertent.  It's unlocked now.  Please
 follow up there.

 I think you are misunderstanding.  While the HDHR supports allocating
 tuners from a pool, MythTV does not support it.  Applying the supplied
 patch will cause MythTV to lock the tuner while MythTV uses it, thereby
 preventing another application from interrupting MythTV's use of the
 tuner.  It will not, however, prevent MythTV from wanting to use a
 specific tuner even when some other application is already using it.
 That's because MythTV is currently written to the tuners statically
 allocated to it by number and expects to have exclusive access them.

 To reword that last comment from the original ticket -- We do not want a
 partial solution to the problem.  We will only accept patches that solve
 the entire problem.  That means changing MythTV to configure an
 hdhomerun_device_selector_t object and to use
 hdhomerun_device_selector_choose_and_lock() to allocate tuners
 dynamically.
