[mythtv-users] How do I use HD5000 and pvr250 in same system more seemlessly

I have both a pvr250 and an hd5000 setup and tested in a new system that I
am configuring and I want to make sure I am setting these up correctly.
I have 1 antenna with a splitter connected to both and an quite good picture
on both. But the channels changing seem a bit mixed up

I setup to lineups in my zap2it account for my town and a nearby town - in
one I choose all the hd channels and in the other I choose all the non hd
channels
then I setup the pvr250 for the non hd one and the hd5000 for the hd one.

So now I have 2 digit channels for the pvr250 and 3 digit channels for the
hd5000
but if I got to live tv I always get the card that is first in the card
setup - the hd5000
and if I try to go to channel 33 it does nothing since you can get to that
channel on that tuner.

I have to figure out how to swap tuners and do that before i can get to a
channel on the other tuner.  Is this the only way it works or did I miss
some setup somewhere - it knows what channels are on which tuner so why
can't it switch tuners if the requested channel isn't available in the
current tuner?


Also will a recording that is scheduled on 33 record nothing since the
channel isn't on 1st tuner ? or will it know that it needs the second tuner
to get to that channel.
