May I suggest that when you post this in the future you provide some
context for those reading it to help them understand? Something like
"Don't adjust tuner priority. Instead, delete all tuners and add them

??? there's nothing in the HOWTO chapter discouraging the use of
channel priorities. (There isn't anything explicit against input
priorities, either, thus the advisability of providing context.) I
don't recall your discouraging the use of channel priorities before,
especially when you go on to say
