I did read this after posting, but found it discouragingly complex and it also
only looked like a partial solution. However, I guess I need to give it a try.
The bit about "basically tells Myth LiveTV is more important to you than
recordings" concerns me: Live TV isn't more important to us than recordings.
But with four tuners, each with four virtual tuners, the Live TV should nearly
always be able to fine a tuner on the right mux (or free to be tuned to it)
and a spare virtual tuner. If it can't then I'm happy to not get Live TV on
that channel, but in practice, it should never happen.

Even though it means that we can't easily watch what we want on Live TV even
when there are spare tuners and virtual tuners?
Anyway, thanks all for the replies, I'll try the various work-arounds and
explore their limitations.
Regards
Ian
