<br>
if I select "Record this showing", I might as well be using an old dumb VCR.<br>
<br>
The problem has never been conflicts. I have 5 tuners in my system. The lower priority channels it has chosen have been on the<br>
same tuner as a higher priority HD channel. At the time, multi-rec was not enabled. The event was scheduled as "record at any<br>
time on any channel" I would assume that it should pick the higher priority channel when it has a choice of two channels on the<br>
same tuner, but this is not what happens.<br>
<br>
I will ask again:<br>
<br>
What is the intent of tuner priority, and channel priority?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Scheduler#Priority">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Scheduler#Priority</a></div><div><br></div>
<div>Tuner priority will cause the scheduler to prefer a specific input when assigning recordings. All other priority values are a lump sum of total priority used to determine what to record, as I understand it. In that case, channel priority is just another mechanism to increase the total priority of a recording.</div>
