I have a similar situation with 3 HDHRs connected to 2 antennas.  I 
connected 3 tuners to each antenna and assigned each tuner to it's own 
input.  I could have just used two inputs, one for each antenna, but I 
found it simpler to associate each tuner with it's own input.  I then 
only include those channels that can be reliably received for each input 
(tuner).  I have had no need to adjust input/tuner priorities and just 
let the scheduler do its thing.
