I've not encountered that problem but it's possible I pre-empted it when 
I set the Recording and Live TV priorities in the Input connections 
section of Mythtv-setup. I made certain that the tuner with the highest 
recording priority also had the lowest live tv priority. I happen to be 
using 3 HDHR Primes so I have 9 tuners. The priorities look like this:

Tuner 	Sched 	Live
CAB1-0 	1 	17
FBA1-0 	3 	15
CAEA-0 	5 	13
CAB1-1 	7 	11
FBA1-1 	9 	9
CAEA-1 	11 	7
CAB1-2 	13 	5
FBA1-2 	15 	3
CAEA-2 	17 	1
