[mythtv-users] recording vs live tv priority

[Joseph H. Fry]

As an example, lets pretend I have a backend with 2 tuners, two
frontends are watching different channels so both are in use, I
scheduled a recording on the frontend that I am watching, the scheduled
recording time arrives... will it record using the tuner my front end is
using or the other one.

I other words, will a scheduled recording default to the tuner in use by
the frontend that was used to schedule it.

I only ask because it would be very frustrating if my roommate were
watching a show and it got interrupted with a movie that I wanted to
record or, vice-versa.  Even more so when she cancels my recording so
she can finish what she was watching.

Hell, I'm not even sure it will interrupt live tv for a recording at
all.

If myth prioritizes the tuners themselves and interrupts the first tuner
in its priority list, then this is bound to happen.  Can the code be
patched to track the frontend used to schedule the recording, and if
there is no tuner free because they are all in use by live tv, it will
interrupt the tuner in use by that frontend, switching that frontend to
watch the show that is being recorded. 

I hope this is clear?!?!
