Related question... say I have two frontends and a dual tuner backend...
both frontends are in live tv mode... which frontend will the recording
try to interrupt?  The one that scheduled the recording?  I would prefer
it be so if that's not the current default... as my roommate may be into
their show and not care that I wanted to record something, or vise
versa!

I asked this question once before but never got a response.
