I could always change it to Quatro and Duo to make it simpler. Not sure I understand the rules. If I set this up in one Frontend, will it affect live and recorded TV on other Frontends and on Kodi frontends?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jim A</div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Yes, that configuration affects the mythbackend scheduler. It really belongs in the backend settings, but is put in the frontend to make it more convenient for the user to change.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">When Myth is decided how to record a show, part of the decision process involves setting priorities for different situations. A "Custom Priority" rule can be used to adjust those priorities. In the example above, If it saw that it was able to record channel "11-1" and a capture card with a display name like "Duo", then it would give extra "weight" to that combination, making it more likely that it would choose it. A positive "Priority Change" means it is more likely to choose than scenario, and a negative value means that it is less likely.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">John<br class=""></div><div class=""> <br class=""></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div>Thanks, I changed my tuner display names to match your example. I put in the custom priority and found the channel is 11_1 and not 11-11. Once I install the custom priority I can see on Mythweb that the 11_1 programs are now set for Duo1.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The whole logic behind using priorities to make tuner choices still escapes me. But thanks again for explaining it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jim A</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
