Is that something that can be set specifically or is that just implied
by the order in which you add inputs?

Pretty sure I have done that -- to prefer the digital tuners.

Ahhh.  Nice.

It seems to happen quite frequently.  But now that I am reminded about
my disdain (and thus -10) for CBS, perhaps that's actually most of the
cause of it.

How do I to time-of-day/day-of-week clauses in those rules?  i.e. Sunday
evening from 6pm until 11pm.  Something like:

DAYOFWEEK(CURDATE()) = 1 AND HOUR(CURTIME()) > 18 and HOUR(CURTIME() < 23

perhaps?  So altogether:

channel.callsign = "WWNY" and DAYOFWEEK(CURDATE()) = 1 AND
HOUR(CURTIME()) > 17 AND HOUR(CURTIME()) < 24

Yes?

Cheers,
