This is a very "interesting" problem.  

My video card is probably not up to Picture-In-Picture so liveTV 
will only take one virtual tuner at a time.  Currently one tuner 
is set to prefer my favourite channel, a second is set to prefer 
my second favourite channel, and the the third is the first 
choice for all other channels and liveTV.

It is a mind bending problem.
