Comment (by Gary Buhrmaster <gary.buhrmaster@…>):

 The "easy" solution to sharing is "don't", and if that requires network
 isolation (usually sub-netting, although PACLs can sometimes be used),
 that is a trivial exercise to achieve the desired result with none of the
 identified downsides.  While I would like sharing, I have chosen network
 isolation because I have not found the resources to "do it right".  It
 should be noted that most apps do not share well.  SageTV does not share
 well.  WMC sort of shares, but you get interesting results as the
 recordings fail, and then it retries (which may or may not work).  AFAIK
 only the apps provided by SiliconDust (surprise surprise) share well, and
 then (of course) only with their other apps that are sharing well.

 Not that I am committing any resources, but I wonder if the locking of all
 configured tuners at backend startup (and then running a background thread
 to keep them locked) would be an adequate initial solution to this
 problem.  That would eliminate the issues that MythTV encounters, and
 insure (reasonably) proper scheduling decisions since the number of
 available tuners would be (mostly) accurate.
