[mythtv-users] Suggestions for simplest way to achieve my recording goals.

[Gordon McCrae]

I've been checking through the system and mail archives, but can't find 
anything to cover my specific requirement, perhaps I'm not searching for 
the right thing, or just not recognizing it when I see it.

I basically want to record a specific channel for twenty four hours but 
at a low priority so that if there's any "real", programmes they takes 
precedence.

I tried a manual recording rule, but it didn't kick in at all because 
there were other programmes being recorded on the tuner with higher 
priorities (at least I'm guessing that's why), and instead of recording 
before and after the  conflicting programme, it just didn't record 
anything at all.

The channel I'm recording is off my one and only satellite tuner, so 
that's why I want to give way to any "real" programmes when they are 
scheduled.

Is there any easy way to do this, or is it just a case of selecting the 
all programmes individually and setting each one with a low priority?

I'm sure someone's already worked this out by now what with things like 
the Olympics, World Cup etc.

Cheers
Gordon
