[mythtv] Clarification

Very nice.  This is something that I plan on working on when the new
hardware arrives.   In the meantime, lemme ask how you handled this:
MythTV is currently recording 2 shows on both tuner cards.  I sit down &
select to watch TV.  Would an error message appear saying that 2
recordings are currently running?  Would it give me an option to cancel
1 of the recordings, or do a live TV watch of one of the current
recordings?

ugh....  I was tired when I wrote that... and I proof-read it twice before
sending it out.  I swear it made sense in my head :)

I could see using a program like Mplayer, or Ogle.  I'll look into &
search the archives for any info post previously.  What type of DVD
detection were you talking about?  regional media, UDF, DivX media, etc?
