[mythtv-users] Disabling channels on dual tuner system

Would anyone have a suggestion on disabling a channel from ever 
being selected on a dual tuner 18.1 mythbox ?

I have a PVR-250 (sourceid 1) and a  FIREWIRE from a Motorola 6200
(sourceid 3) setup using a single Zapit account. The 250 can access a
subset of channels .... (<60)  while the Firewire can access all
channels.

I could use 2 accounts, but that seems wasteful. Mythfilldatabase
will load channels 2-930 on both inputs. Deleting the unwanted channels
on input 1 doesn't work...they are reloaded on the next mythfilldatabase
run.

I've set  the recpriority field on sourceid 1 to -99 for the unwanted
channels and that works just fine...but I bet there is a way to
totally disable a  channel on a specific input.

Thanks,

Barry
