[mythtv-users] NFL Scheduling

[E. Westbrook]

Hello everyone!

While watching today's televised NFL games, I reviewed my schedule for
upcoming games, and was puzzled.  Here are the facts of the case:

   - I have a PVR350 (on a Comcast DTA device) and a pcHDTV HD3000 (on an
   ATSC antenna).
   - In my area, each game is simultaneously broadcast on the affiliate's
   channels on both.
   - When there are two different games broadcast at once (Sunday
   afternoons):
      - I want both tuners to be used so I get both games;
      - I don't want the same game on both tuners (perhaps obviously);
      - I don't really care which tuner gets which game.
   - When there is just one game (Sunday evenings), I want it recorded on
   the HD3000 to get the HD version.

What I've done, sufficiently I thought, is:

   - Created a recording schedule for "NFL Football" at any time on any
   channel, prioritized above everything else, with duplicate matching set to
   "Subtitle then Description".
   - In mythtv-setup / Edit Channels, bumped the channel priority for each
   affiliate's ATSC channel (1) over the corresponding Comcast channel (0).

This seems to mostly give me what I want.

However -- and finally, the question -- regarding the NBC evening game on 21
November, I see in "Upcoming Recordings" (in both mythfrontend and mythweb)
that it's scheduled to record on the Comcast channel instead of the ATSC
channel's simultaneous broadcast, which shows as "Earlier recording".

What's going on?  What should I do differently to get the HD version when
both feeds have it?

For thoroughness, I did just run a "mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all" against
my Schedules Direct listings, and then "mythbackend --testsched -v
schedule", the output of which is here:

Any help greatly appreciated!

Also, is the format of the mythbackend schedule output (aside from the
indicator characters) documented anywhere?  It's escaping me if so.

Thanks!
Eric
