Note that when you specify input priority, you're not specifying which 
card to use in which order.  Instead, you're specifying which shows to 
record.

There's only one priority in MythTV, and when people change input and 
channel priorities, they're not doing what the user expects.

Before changing any input or channel priority--or, if you've already 
done so--everyone should read (and understand) all of section 12 of the 
HOWTO.  http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html
