In MythTV, Live TV has an implied contract that the Live TV viewer is<br>
the "owner" of the tuner. If you were channel surfing and stumbled<br>
across a channel on which a scheduled recording is occurring and MythTV<br>
noticed and instead started playing back the scheduled recording, it<br>
would presumably "release" the tuner you were using for Live TV. And,<br>
unlucky you, your wife just happened to start Live TV--and claim that<br>
just-released tuner--right before you hit channel up, again. Now you've<br>
lost your tuner, so what to do?<br>

That would be ok, wouldn't it (I'm thinking after reading several of the<br>
follow up posts). Finding yourself restricted to watching what is<br>
currently recording or what your wife is watching on the other front<br>
end when all virtual tuners are in use, wouldn't be any more surprising<br>
than finding yourself restricted to certain multiplexes when all your<br>
real tuners are in use, but a virtual one is free.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think it would be OK. Especially if the FE you were using told you that "The "INSERTFRONTENDNAMEHERE and the INSERTSHOWNAMEHERE are currently consuming all tuners."</div>
