[mythtv-users] recording priorities

Hi,

A question about recording settings and priorities. Tonight I had the
following situation. My system has 2 tuner cards.

Program 1 runs from 7.00 - 9.00 on channel 10
Program 2 runs from 7.30 - 8.30 on channel 7
Program 3 runs from 8.30 - 9.30 on channel 9

Setup->TV Settings->General - Time to record past end of show = 600 seconds

All shows are equal priority.

My thought was that Program 1 would tape first, taking up tuner card 1
until 9.10. Program 2 would kick off at 7.30, taking up tuner card 2
until 8.40.
Program 3 would therefore not be recorded as both tuner cards are in use.

However I find the following in my log  -

2005-05-29 19:29:32.667 Started recording "My Restaurant Rules" on channel: 1004
 on cardid: 3, sourceid 1

Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious? I only installed the
second tuner this weekend so I haven't really messed with it that
much.

Thanks,
phil
