Is there any way to force MythTV to prefer using multirec rather than scheduling a recording onto a second tuner?<br>
<br>
For instance, just scheduled to record were Doctor Who and Pride and Prejudice. Both shows are on the same ABC multiplex, so before installing a second tuner, they would have recorded fine using MultiRec. However, the scheduler instead decided to move Pride and Prejudice onto the new tuner, where it failed to record.<br>

I've only got one tuner, so it's not something that's bothered me yet. But how did you add your tuners ? IIRC from a message some time ago, recordings favour the lowest numbered tuners - so it depends whether you add a single tuner, then another single tuner, and then go back and enable multirec; or add one tuner with multirec and then add the other with multirec.<br>
