[mythtv-users] Blocking out scheduler (Was: Upgrade plan)

[Simon Hobson]

As an aside to this, and it is related, does anyone have any ideas for how to "tell the scheduler" I'd like it to not schedule any recordings for "a while" ?

I don't mean something as brutal as just clearing the listings - something a bit more intelligent. Ideally I'd like to make it so it thinks it has no tuners free for (say) the next day - and then it would either schedule a later showing, or flag a conflict ? That way I could see if there's anything "essential" coming up and plan my downtime accordingly. If I just deleted the listings, then I'd almost certainly miss recordings that I want.
The only way I can think of would be to manually add two dummy muxes, with one channel each, and manually schedule a high priority recording off both of them for the period of interest. That would tie up both tuners leaving nothing free. I'm using two tuners, both with multirec, on UK Freeview (DVB-T).
