Hi Jay,

I don't know if it will help you, but as of Mythtv v33, the
mythexternrecorder application now lets you set "per channel" tuning
command. See:
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Example_Configuration_files#Mythtv_v33_Example

That means your tuning command could be a no-op for specific channels that
you have defined.
