The problem with this is a conflict for tuner2 when two or more things 
are going on.

With three tuners, maybe a better order would be:

                    Schedule Order     Live TV Order
  Tuner1               3                             2
  Tuner2               2                             1
  Tuner3               1                             3

This forces scheduled recordings to start at tuner3, and live tv to 
alternately choose tuner1 and tuner2. This way, two channels could be 
viewed live while a recording was taking place, or three channels could 
be viewed live.
