Mythtv expects sole and complete controle on any tuner it uses. So<br>
you cannot share tuners between 2 use cases, but you can split the 2<br>
tuners between 2 use cases. So one dedicated to one and the other to<br>
another. So configure both for using only one tuner on the hdhr.<br>

So even if all four recording tuners are being used I still have 2 tuners somewhere. That way HDHR Android app can watch live TV from a phone without interfering with Mythtv recordings.

I've used this feature on v32 and v33 but now I'm on V34 (Master). It has something to do with TCP usage vs. UDP.
