[mythtv-users] Input device used is different based on whether I click in guide or type in channel number

Hi folks,
I've got a weird tuning issue with MythTV (0.29.1) that I mentioned a
long time ago, but never really got a answer that worked for me. So I
figure I'll try again.
I have a MythTV with an HD-PVR and a 3-input HD-Homerun prime. Due to
speed of channel changing and also the age of the HD-PVR, I'd prefer the
latter device to be, well, preferred by MythTV.
If I watch Live TV, it uses the HDHR. If I type in the channel number
of the one I want to go to, it stays on the HDHR. This is good. *BUT*,
if I use the program guide and click on the channel I want to go to, it
uses the HD-PVR for some reason.
I've tried playing with the "Schedule order" and "Live TV order"
settings in mythtv-setup, to no avail. Where I left it is having the
Input Priority the same across all 4 input devices, and setting the
Schedule order and Live TV order of the HD-PVR to 99, and 1, 2 and 3 for
the HDHR inputs. However, any time I use the guide to change the
channel, it goes to the (order 99) HD-PVR input rather than any of the
(order 1, 2, or 3) HDHR inputs.
Is there something special about changing channel via the guide that
causes the input-device-selection logic to be swapped vs. what happens
when I input a channel number? And if so, is there something I can do
to get the HDHR inputs to be preferred, regardless of how I change the
channel?
Thanks!
