In the example above, If it saw that it was able to record channel "11-1" and a capture card with a display name like "Duo", then it would give extra "weight" to that combination, making it more likely that it would choose it. A positive "Priority Change" means it is more likely to choose than scenario, and a negative value means that it is less likely.

SO, now that I have my scheduling problem solved for channel 11_1 recordings. What about Live TV? is there a mechanism to force channel 11_1 to Duo% for Live TV?
