I just got my HDHomerun hooked up so i have 2 HD tuners and one pvr
350. What I want to do is just schedule shows to record not caring
about the channel name (i.e. NBC vs NBC-DT) or if they are in HD or not
such that if I have 3 shows recording at the same time if any of them
are in HD the shows that will benefit from the new tuners will
automatically be put onto the HD tuners. And if none of the shows are
in HD then they would all be recorded on the best tuner available (ie HD
anyways).

The easiest and best way to do this is to change your card order in
mythtv-setup with the best cards first.

You can select 'Record at any time on this channel' when scheduling a
recording.

the channel names be the same between the tuners ( i.e. NBC on both

mythtv-setup AND in the recording profiles increase the (new) option for
HDTV Recording priority.

Channel number or call signs must be the identical to be treated the same.

I went ahead and raised the priority of the HD Tuners and changed the
call sign on the HD channels to match the analog version since they
really are the same channel. I'm not sure what repercussions there
will be for making this change but it does allow all shows to "migrate"
to the better tuner even when doing a "record only this show". As long
as this doesn't mess anything up it is pretty close to what I want
other then the HD shows do not get priority on the HD card. <br>
<br>
I thought about writing a script to set the HDTV flag to true in the
programs table for shows which are available in HD based on my other
lineup (the one that is no longer the old callsign but still on the old
xmlid) to give the additional HD priority. But have mustered the nerve
to make that change yet since it would also require the scheduler to
run after the change and i'm not sure if that would happen
automaticlly and figure i should wait till i see if the latest change
of the callsign messes up anything.<br>
