What I did is to create two lineups in Schedules Direct - one for analog
only and one for digital channels only. Any analog channels that had a
corresponding digital channel were disabled in the analog listing in SD.
I also deleted all the tuners and added them in priority order - for me
that meant adding the digital tuners first and the analog tuners last.
The only time that a program gets recorded on the analog tuner is for
analog only programs. If you want to have overlap between the digital
and analog programs by having the analog tuner added last is should be
last allocated for recording.
I don't mess with the Priorities of the channels or programs if I can
avoid it (and I mostly can).
