[mythtv-users] HD simulcast: how best to configure

Hi,

I'm currently setting up MythTV, but I'm struggling a bit with how to
configure my channels:

>From what I've learned so far (please correct me if I'm wrong):

* If two channels have the same Callsign, Myth assumes they're equal

* If two channels have the same channum as well, Myth collapses them into
1 channel, choosing a free tuner when needed.


I receive a certain channel in 3 ways: Once via DVB-T in SD, once via
DVB-S in SD and once via DVB-S(2) in HD. The content of these three
channels is identical, only the quality differs (there is also a
difference in bitrate between the SD streams).

What is the best practice to merge these channels?

* Combine both SD's, and keep HD as a different channum and/or callsign?

* Combine all 3. Can I assign priorities to channels, so that I preferable
watch/record HD, only falling back if scheduling requires me to?


Thanks in advance,
Niels
