<p>Okay so I've made some progress here but have some questions. I
assumed these instructions were out of date and referred to Gary's
PDF "Use of the HDHR Premium TV service with MythTV".</p>
<p>I don't have the Premium service but thought I'd follow the
instructions exactly to better learn some things about
mythhdhrrecorder and external recorders. So using a Virtualbox
ubuntu 18.04 system I build up mythtv 29.1 as normal, but followed
the PDF to setup the tuners. I got it working except for the
premium channels as expected.</p>
<p>So what I think I have right is:</p>
<p>1. mythhdhrrecorder switches to tcp and virtual channels so
mythtv-setup can't be used to scan the channels.</p>
<p>2. if I follow the PDF instructions but don't include the HDHR
Premium lineup, but include my zipcode lineup, it will work for
normal OTA ATSC channels.</p>
<p>Currently I'm using Record priorities to set a Custom Priority
Rule to make sure my HDHR Connect is used for a local channel I'm
having problems with. I can't let it record with the HDHR Quatro.
I'm also able to set LiveTV priorities to keep the Connect higher
priority than the Quatro.</p>
<p>I'm looking for ways to do this with the mythhdhrrecorder
method. I'm thinking I could create external recorders with the
--hdhr <id> options so I could call them out in my custom
priority rules??</p>
