<br>Based on what I just read this morning in the MythTV HOWTO (sorry, can't <br>cite the location, it was near the section someone else referenced about<br>advanced recording rules) there is a reason you might *not* want to make
<br>the callsigns different. If they're the same, then the scheduler understands<br>that it has two choices for a program source. For example, if you have cable<br>and OTA, you can give priority to the cable (cleaner signal?) and still get
<br>a show recorded on the OTA input if the cable input is already being used<br>to capture some other program. Of course, this assumes you have multiple<br>capture cards, but then doesn't *everyone* whose had MythTV running for
<br>more than a couple of weeks? ;-)<br><br>HTH,<br><br>Craig.<br>
