[mythtv-users] Scheduling: prefer input

[John P Poet]

What is the "prefer input" supposed to do?

I assumed that if I asked myth to to record one episode a week of "NFL
Live", and told it to prefer my firewire input, that it would record
off of ESPNHD (channel 252).  However, it still chooses to record it
from channel 8, which is the non HD version of ESPN.

My firewire input lineup only includes channels above 100.

Am I not understanding how to use that feature?

Thanks,

John
