Unless you really understand the impact of using tuner priorities,
it's best to leave them at the default values.  When they are used,
MythTV tries to adhere to them does things that might at first seem
correct.

You should probably use schedorder to achieve this rather than
priorities.  Also, if heating is that big of a concern, make sure you
have good case ventilation and try leave the slot next to the 500
empty.

I don't think so, but Mike Dean is much better than I am at
remembering such things.
