> Currently, I only have 3 tuners, between 4 kids who have found watching TV on their tablet an setting up recordings is cool.  So now I have a situation where they are I am dealing with a lot of conflicts or (since they all have equal priority) an dealing with kids not able to watch Live TV cause 3 shows are being recorded by 2 kids at that particular hour.
> 
> Having the ability to dedicate 1 Tuner for Live TV would be a nice extra as then I can guarantee that the family can always share Live TV in the Living Room at least.  I wish there was a way to dedicate a tuner to a front end device, but that is probably asking too much.  An then only allow my kids to watch recordings via the tablets an computers.

> In the above scenario, there really isn't much that I can do as the users out number the tuners.  But as I see the family using the setup, I am really considering a second HDHR Prime tuner so I have a total of 6 tuners.  Then set up 4 for live TV an 2 for recording (maybe 3 an 3).   Since Live TV seems to be recorded anyways.

It's in mythtv-setup, second screen of  capture card setup but just working from memory on that. Might be more detail in Karl's link.
