Just create a auto-switch adapter. You can switch to the DVD player
whenever you detect an output signal, otherwise connect the PVR. That's
what I'm going to do, same situation here. I only turn on the DVD player
when I use it, so it will default to mythTV. Final target is removing the
antenna input from the TV altogether, and use it as a display for the PVR.
I don't think you can buy a good quality switch though, I am going to use a
few miniature relais (best quality for low price), so if you have
solder-iron-fear or a tight budget this one is not for you :-)
For an idea of commercial automatic products (no idea about quality):
