I tried deleting all tuners and resetting them.  No help.  If I enter
live tv and hit 'C' to cycle through all of the cards, it leaves them
all recording the channel it was on when I left it.  The priorities are
pretty normal except I reverse the Recording and Live TV priorities so I
use the second HDPVR for live and the first for recording.
