Though not all having the same value.  If you have 4 physical capture 
devices, all equally functional and equivalent to one another, you 
should set them up as having schedule orders of 1, 2, 3, and 4.  Then, 
you would likely choose Live TV order of 4, 3, 2, 1 to ensure you take 
the least-likely-to-be-chosen-for-recordings device first when you enter 
Live TV (so it's also the least likely to be already locked to a mux).

Choosing exactly the same schedule order value for the different 
physical devices may break multirec placement efficiency.
