Sorry to hijack the thread, but how would you classify this use case
(broken system / sub-optimal configuration / optimal):

I have an HDHomeRun Dual connected to antenna receiving ATSC. Channels
are generally 12-16 Mbps MPEG2.

I have an HDHomeRun Prime connected to cable receiving QAM. Channels
are generally 9-12 Mbps MPEG2.

I give the HDHR Dual inputs higher priority because the picture
quality from ATSC is better. The picture quality from cable isn't bad,
just not as good as ATSC. Is this optimal or is there a better way to
encourage programs to record from the higher quality steam?
