I was about to suggest the same, as scheduling gets icky with a HDHR
connected to a rotor.

How do you avoid trying to record show A on tuner A from direction A 
while at the same time trying to record show B from tuner B from
direction B?

One solution would be multiple antennas with on coax feed each to a set
of tuners that are each dedicated to one direction/antenna.
(In MythTV you use one Video Source per coax feed)

Another solution would be to combine two antennas into one coax feed.

Allowing all tuners to record all channels.
