Okay thanks for clearing that up.  I guess the best way to give one input
preference over another is just make sure it has a lower ID (i.e. is added
first in mythtv-setup).

That's the way I have it now.  I have 4 tuners, 2 OTA and 2 HD-PVR's for
FIOS.  Of course, nearly everything that's available OTA is also available
via FIOS, but I prefer it to record from OTA when possible, then from FIOS
as a backup.  My OTA tuners are first in mythtv-setup, and the HD-PVR's are
last.  I've adjusted the callsigns and channel numbers to match.  But I also
bumped the input priority for the OTA tuners, but I will probably now revert
that.

Thanks!
