General note--I'm pretty sure Isaac and the other devs don't want the
trac system to be used for discussions about why Myth works the way it
does. That's what the mythtv-user's list is for...
I'm almost willing to guarantee that if Isaac marks a ticket as
closed/invalid, he doesn't want people to mark it reopened/valid.
As for your question, the logic is that Myth has first choice on which
tuner to use, and it will use high-priority tuners in preference to
low-priority tuners. That way, recordings--which you're infinitely more
likely to keep than LiveTV (which Myth currently doesn't provide a means
of saving)--are more likely to be good quality recordings.
So, how do you make it work the way you want?
If you have multiple tuner cards, you can select the option, "Avoid
conflicts between live TV and scheduled shows." If you choose this
option, LiveTV will use the lowest-priority tuner so recordings--which
start with the highest-priority and work down to lowest-priority
tuner--will not boot you from LiveTV until your LiveTV tuner is the only
one not being used for a recording.
