This is at odds with the documentation.  From
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html, in the section about Input
Priority:

 

"If you have multiple cards of different quality, you may want to set input
priority to encourage the scheduler to record shows on your best card(s)
whenever possible. This can also be useful if you have multiple video
sources which include the same stations. For example, with digital and
analog cable you could increase the digital cable input preference by 1 to
tell the scheduler that you want to record from the digital channel whenever
possible but the channel on the analog input could still be used when the
digital input is busy."

 

Is this just a case of the documentation either being wrong or misleading?
Or is my understanding wrong, you are both saying the same thing, just
different ways?

 

Thanks!
