[mythtv-users] using both firewire and svideo

Hi,
I recently got a dct 6200 from comcast, and after setting up the
computer to grab video from the firewire, I discovered that all of the
analog channels are coming into the box in digital format and out the
firewire also. So I decided to use the firewire as my primary recorder
in myth.
The only problem is that certain channels are encrypted, so I need to
use svideo for those. However, the picture quality over firewire is much
better, so I don't want to record all channels over svideo, just the
ones I have to. Since mythbackend correctly sees the svideo and firewire
as two separate tuners, it wants to record something over the svideo and
firewire at the same time sometimes and doesn't detect any conflicts or
warn me about it. I know this is actually correct behavior, but has
anyone set up a work-around or something to get it to treat svideo and
firewire as sort of the same tuner, and switch to svideo for say
channels > 100, and use firewire for channels < 100?
Thanks.
Raphael
