[mythtv-users] record a show on channel X or Y

Is it possible to schedule a show to record only on specific channels?  That or
say "record on any channel except channel X"?

I have one HDTV OTA tuner card and two PVR-150s.  Sometimes there are two HD
shows on at the same time that I want to record so I record one of them in HD
and the other in SD on a PVR-150.  In order to make this work I've assigned my
HD card a higher priority and for any HD show I tell it to "record on any
channel".  This way the higher priority show records in HD, the lower in SD.

The problem is when there is a third station that airs lots of repeats of a
show. Take CSI for example, new episodes air on CBS via channel 5_1 in HD and
channel 3 in SD but SpikeTV (channel 40) shows lots of older shows that aren't
always flagged as 'Repeat'.

How can I tell Myth to record CSI on channel 5_1 or 3 but not channel 40?
