[mythtv-users] Reconciling schedule conflicts between Comcast DCH-3200 unencrypted firewire and s-video

[Joel Goldwein]

Does anyone have a suggested workaround for the following situation with
Comcast DCH-3200 STB:

Comcast encrypts "premium" channels and will not permit firewire
capture.  An alternative is to use the s-video (non-HD) output of the
DCH-3200 STB, feed that into a V4l card s-video input, link the V4l
card's  s-video source with a listing of "premium" channels, and use an
external program (/usr/bin/6200ch) to change the channel on the DCH3200
box.

If you also want to capture non-encrypted HD channels via the firewire
port of the same DCH-3200 STB, you need to create the DCH-3200 Firewire
cable box as another capture card, and link that input connection to a
listing of non-premium unencrypted channels.  

Because there are two "cards" in play here, but both ultimately feeding
from the same source, MythTV sees this as two separate non-conflicting
schedules.  Therefore, unless I am missing something (which could easily
be the case), there is no way to _automatically_ reconcile schedule
conflicts.     

Anyone have any ideas?
