Hi Joseph!<br>
<br>
Can you please elaborate on how and where I would set that up? I now have 3 HD HomeRun Dual tuners. (6 tuners)<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

Just wondering where I went wrong.<br>
<br>
If a program is recording on one channel, for some reason I<br>
can't change to another, even though it's a dual tuner.<br>
Change channel, it jumps back to the program currently being<br>
recorded.<br>
<br>
I have it setup according to the documentation on MythTV wiki<br>
regarding the HomeRun Dual tuner.<br>
<br>
<br>
If you have configured virtual tuners and your LiveTV session<br>
happens to land on a virtual that shares the same physical, you<br>
can't change to anything other than what that tuner is locked<br>
into. You need to change tuner using "C" (default key) and switch<br>
to another tuner.<br>
<br>
<br>
There are various settings you can make to set the priority for recording/live tv on your tuners as well. I have 5 tuners, they are set with recording priority from 1-5 and live tv priority from 5-1... so essentially if I go into live TV it uses tuner 5, and my recordings try to use the lowest numbered tuner available. With just 2 tuners, it's harder because often the scheduler will need to make use of the second tuner for various reasons.<br>

<div><br></div><div>Are you running 3 HDHR Prime's with cable cards, or are you using QAM, or ATSC? I only ask because if you have 6 physical tuners, you could have 2 or 3 times that with virtual tuners (unless they are Prime's with CC's), that many tuners may influence the way I'd set the priorities, so I won't make any recommendations. </div>
