[mythtv-users] Big problems with recording priorities on 0.15!

I've just noticed a problem with recording priorities.  Let me explain.

I have two channel sources, a cable connection with your basic package, and
digital satellite.  There are duplicate channels on each source.

I have setup some recordings to record ONLY off digital satellite, and when I 
go into the recording conflicts screen, I notice that EACH instance of a 
recording that is supposed to tape on satellite, is instead taping on cable, 
for instance, Stargate is supposed to tape on Dish network channel 122 from 
7-10pm each monday night.  I find instead, that it's taping off my cable 
connection channel 45.  So I set higher priority for channel 122.  +20.  It 
completely ignores it and tapes ch 45 still.  So I go into the recording 
schedule and delete stargate.  Then I go back to program guide, ch 122, and 
tell it to record any time on THIS channel.  Back to the recording conflicts 
screen, and it's right back to channel 45.  I know it's actually recording 45 
too, because it's not changing the satellite box through LIRC.  

Anybody else see this problem?

BTW, the callsigns of each of the problem stations are the same.  I suspect 
that has something to do with it.  Channel 45 occurs before 122 in the 
program guide.

Thanks
Mark
